     It sounds like you are trying to download GS-ShrinkIt to a PC or
Mac and get it running on your GS. If this is correct, try the
following:


Go to this folder on Ground ... 

ftp://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/useful.stuff/ .

NOTE: The assumption is that you do not currently have a way to change
ProDOS filetype for a file on your GS. (If you do have a way to change
filetype for files on your GS, you can skip the tchange stuff-- i.e.
download gshk.sea, move it to your GS, and hop to the last step below.)
 

Download gshk.sea
         tchange (this is a plain binary type file)
         tchange.info.txt


Read/ print out the tchange.info.txt .  This file includes the
directions for using tchange.

Transfer gshk.sea and tchange to your GS.

Follow directions to get Type Changer running.

Change the filetype of gshk.sea to (hex number) $B3 and run gshk.sea
from the Finder desktop. It will self-extract and you will have
GS-ShrinkIt.
