Two problems: first, that'll only work with a IIgs running GS Shrinkit.
Shrinkit under ProDOS 8 won't open an archive with a fork attached, and
also won't access HFS. Second, for Shrinkit to recognize 'em, the archives 
either need the types set properly or the filenames have to end in .shk, 
.sdk, etc. I'm used to Apple operating systems which don't rely on extensions
to know what types files are, so I like to have the types set properly and 
be able to name the files whatever I want.
