Only Shrink II, the Mac version of GS shrinkit, will unpack .shk files
made on a GS.  Shrink II will handle extended files, which I think
many HyperStudio files are.  Also, the correct filetype will be set.

Buy Shrink II.  I don't know who sells it now.  GS+ Magazine's EGO
Systems used to.

The person that owns the copyright to Shrink II now works for
Shareware Solutions II.

You could unshrink some text stuff, but most files will be useless
unshrunk on Wintel because extended files will be scrambled
and there is no way to store the filetype under the FAT or FAT32
filesystems.
