Hi Paul,

 This disk image contains the following files;


PRODOS - the operating system
SHRINKIT.SYSTEM - this file launches ShrinkIt for ProDOS 8
SHRINKIT - version 3.4 of ShrinkIt for ProDOS 8
BASIC.SYSTEM - the Applesoft BASIC interpreter for ProDOS
GSHK - GS-ShrinkIt 1.1 (for the Apple IIGS)
TYPECHANGER - a file type changing program (in Applesoft BASIC) by Jim
Mensch

I have used the GSHK program, although with only 1 drive I was unable to
get the program to read and expand to the same drive without overwriting
the source disk. I have system 6.0.1 installed so I can read HFS disks
from the Mac, which between the OS and the GSHK doesn't leave enough
memory on my fully populated 1 meg expansion left to move anything to a
ramdisk.

So I guess I,m in the market for another 800K drive and maybe a bigger
memory expansion card, or better yet a hard drive setup.....
