Yes, but you must use "Create Disk Image Archive" from the
Shrinkit menu, not "Create File Archive"...

That's because these .shk files are FILE ARCHIVES.  There
is an easy way to remedy this...extract the files using real
GS Shrinkit on a real GS onto a real ProDOS disk.  Then
create a Disk Image Archive of the entire ProDOS disk using
GS Shrinkit.  Nulib will extract this file and Revival will turn it
into a usable XGS disk image.

By the way...the files on ground are not "warez"...they are
legit.
