Lim, you don't understand.  I'm not Andy, but I think I can say that opening
ShrinkIt archives is not what HP is supposed to do.  What you want is
something that should be seperate from HP, and should be implemented as
a Finder Extra.  I have wondered how hard it would be for Andy to move
his yankit shell utility to a Finder Extension, but I'm sure he's been
busy with HP...

I don't think this is possible, will Econ let Andy know their compression
schemes and such?  I really doubt it.
