Mmm?

The copies of GS/OS on the ftp.apple.com and ftptoo.apple.com sites are
DiskCopy images of 800k ProDOS disks.  While you can download those images
with anything, the only way you can turn them into useful ProDOS disks is
to run them through DiskCopy on a Macintosh.

Yes, there are Shrinkit archives out there...ummm...somewhere.  But the
official copies on the Apple FTP site are images that you're going to need
a Macintosh to decode.  Besides, you can't write to ProDOS 800k disks with
a Wintel machine anyway...
