Thanks for making the DiskCopy image available, Tom.
Although I do not have a Mac, I know enough about it
to know that it makes a big difference in getting the
ShrinkIt IIGS program to the IIGS.  Simply extract it
and put the disk in the IIGS drive.  Better this than to
treat the Mac as though it were a PC and null modem
everything.

Maybe you can email Rubywand and tell him about the
DiskCopy process and the image you uploaded so that
he can modify the csa2 FAQ to include instructions
and download location of the DiskCopy Shrinkit IIGS
file.  Currently, that FAQ only has PC instuctions plus
PC oriented archives of ShrinkIt.  The easy to use
DiskCopy image that you took the time to make and
upload are nowhere mentioned.

Thanks for uploading the file and thanks in advance for
helping Rubywand update the FAQ.
