--> ShrinkIt does a fine job of shrinking a whole disk; no matter
    what unprotected format the disk is (ie: DOS3.3, Pascal, CP/M,
    ProDOS) & C2+ v6.x can make an IMG of any of the above types
    & there's software that makes the DSK format; but I don't know
    what it's called or if it works on all of the above types.

    I've never managed to get a CP/M-based telecom pkg going on my
    IIe for the exact reason someone else posted: one basically
    needs to patch a generic CP/M telecom pkg to work with ones'
    specific hdwr. I would've loved to get one going; but, alas,
    I never picked-up the programming skills/knowledge to make it
    happen. I have a couple of CP/M telecom pkgs - the only one I
    recall offhand, is one called: MDM7 (Modem7); don't remember
    the other. Never got to find out if it worked, due to the need
    for it to be patched, as mentioned.
