Hi,

 Download Protype to use on a Macintosh. Just drag & drop a Apple II .shk
or hqx file on Protype, & Protype will strip the Mac resource fork from
the file & convert it to a file a Apple II can handle. Then transfer it
to a ProDOS disk & run Shrinkit or GS Shrinkit to open it. Download a
Self extracting Shrinkit from the Net if you need Shrinkit. There is a
Stuffit Archive with Shrinit & GS Shrinkit called
MactoA2Archivers.image.sit.hqx in the same directory as Protype.
