I am trying to download and unshrink a Beagle Bros. file with
little success so far. My first attempt was using the UNIX shell
and ftp'ing to Ground, entering "bin" for binary transfer and then
-getting- alphaplot.shk. I then transfered the file to my IIGS using
Xmodem. When I tried Shrinkit, I got an error that the header was
bad / incorrect.
The second attempt was using a MAC over the Web and downloading to
an HFS formatted disk. I copied the SHK file to a blank partition
of my hard drive on the IIGS (Thank goodness for the HFS fst!) and
tried to unpack in with GS-Shrinkit. I had an error to the effect
that it could not do 5 1/4 inch disks and to use the 8 bit program.
I tried Shrinkit (8 bit) but got an error that there was insufficient
space on the target drive. This is Shrinkit 3.0.3 and the only target
drive it offered me was the 3.5 inch (800 K) external drive. The file
has a size of 164K and somewhere I believe it was 200% shrank - this
should fit on a 800 K drive. (I even tried formatting a disk immediately
before unshrinking to ensure that there was nothing on the target.
Does any one have any suggestions? I have poured religiously over the
FAQ by Nathan but it offers little nitty-gritty help.
I am running a IIGS with system 6.0.1 and 4 meg. I have 60 meg free
hard disk space. The copy of Shrinkit and GS-shrinkit I am attempting to
use was already on the Focus disk/drive when I purchased it. Is there
any way to change the Target drive? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
