   Do NOT unshrink any GS/OS file on a PC, unix system, or the like.
It will get corrupted. The usual cause of corrupted downloads to the
GS is ignoring the explicit warnings in the FAQ to ALWAYS do binary
mode transfers on any .shk/.bxy file. You forget that once, you can
almost certainly have to begin again.

   "The price of correct downloads is eternal vigilance towards using
Binary" to mangle a good quote.
