There are several reasons:

1) The files aren't on a Mac or a IIGS...they're currently sitting on
   Sun file server and are waiting to be downloaded from a SPARC.
2) The fonts weren't in ShrinkIt archives...they were in Compact Pro
   archives, so they have MacBinary headers on them when I unpack them
   (the archives also have MacBinary headers) and I don't know of any
   software for the II that knows how to deal with MacBinary headers,
   other than just deleting them.
3) I don't have a 3.5" floppy drive at this time...the one that I had
   bought was DOA and I'm waiting for USPS to get an insurance payment
   check to me.
