If they do contain "forked" files, then they aren't SDK files.  SDK is
a shrunk disk image which cannot be an extended file.

If there are individual files in the archive then it should have a SHK
suffix.  In this case, it is possible to have extended files in the
archive.  To extract them you need to be running GSHK (the IIgs
version of ShrinkIt) under a version of GS/OS that supports extended
files.  That would be System 5.0 or greater if I recall correctly.

By the way, just so you know, ShrinkIt v3.4 and GSHK v1.1 are the
latest versions.
