The only problem is the third disk image, Apex Sample Programs Disk download, is zero k. I'd like to be able to contact the site owner so I can get the third disk image. DeanThe image on the original site seems to be corrupted (at least Ciderpress won't open it) although it's not zero length.http://web.archive.org/web/20041023012923/www.dcnet2000.com/~quazar/Apple2/
It sure has the correct header... Maybe some CR/LF trouble occurred, despite the author's care with .bin suffixes. I tried it in CiderPress with "relaxed error checking" and still no-go. It would be interesting to have a ShrinkIt Recovery Program that would do its best to 1) diagnose just what's wrong, and 2) extract everything that it can possibly extract, even if it may have errors after some point in the file. I realize that archivers are trying to remove as much redundancy as possible, but there may yet be enough remaining to allow reconstruction if the corruption is localized. -michael NadaNet 3.1 for Apple II parallel computing!
