Glue Sniffin' Ed notes:

I'm not sure who made this wonderful mac binary version of this
archive....but I'm really thankful to them for doing it.

To use this:

1) Use Stuffit expander or a similar utility on your mac to decode
this mac binary.  You will then have a file called Shrinkit1.1.SEA

2) Copy this Shrinkit1.1.SEA file to a ProDOS formatted floppy using
your macintosh.

3) Take this floppy...and place it into your Apple GS drive, and
simply double click on the Shrinkit1.1.SEA file.

This SEA file is a self extracting archive that is made for the Apple
GS.  You will now have the executable version of Shrinkit for your GS,
GSHK.

Hopefully this simple format will help out some of you other Apple
newbies such as myself.
If you don't have a macintosh....I would suggest you buy one.  It's
extremely convenient to have a mac for transfering files to and from
your GS.  I bought my laptop powerbook 165 for $90.00.  And....I
regularly see old Macintosh classic II machines going for under
$35.00.  To me.....$35.00 is worth it for the convenience of file
transfers between platforms. i.e. PC to Mac to GS, and even back
again.  I downloaded GS OS 6.0.1 from apple's FTP for free...and used
diskcopy on the mac to write out myself a whole set of GS OS floppies.
Diskcopy is in the mac utilities section on apple's FTP.

Now that the secrets out.....nobody has an excuse for not having GS OS
6.0.1, Shrinkit, and Diskcopy for your mac :-)
