There is a UNIX port to DOS called Nulib, but it does not do
everything ShrinkIt does. Namely, it cannot preserve file type
and aux type for ProDOS and it cannot preserve the resource
fork for GS/OS. Thus, it is useless for compressing and de-
compressing Apple II and Apple IIGS files and programs. It
may be useful for compressing PC stuff, but you'd probably
want to use .zip archives instead.
