I didn't find a lemmings.shk file, only LemminGS.Demo. LemminGS.Demo is
a archive of a disk image, and it is not binhexed.
What did you try exactly? Dragging the file on ProTYPE won't do anything,
since '.Demo' is not a recognized suffix. ProTYPE doesn't look into the
files. So 8-bit Shrink-It got a file with a unspecified file type.
I don't know if it handles this. Try renaming it to 'LemminGS.sdk', drop
it onto ProTYPE and please tell me if that works.

I think every file on ground should have an suffix that explains its
nature. What other GS games did not work?

If you downloaded one of these '1of8' files, did you do it in ASCII mode?
ProTYPE only checks TEXT files for Binscii wrappers. I could change this,
if you like.

What original program do you mean? LemminGS?
