And Binary II can do the same thing for the IIgs.  If you have added a
comment to your ShrinkIt archive from the finder, it gets added to the
resource fork of the file.  If you wrap your ShrinkIt archive with
Binary II, your comment will stay with the archive no matter where it
goes.  If you don't, the resource fork will disappear when you first
upload it somewhere.

Not to mention preserving file type, aux type, creation & modification
dates and times.

I realize you weren't really being serious but it does serve a useful
purpose.
