I downloaded one of the bxy disk archives via Fetch and via unix style ftp.
Fetch told me that the file was in applesingle format. Shrinkit was happy to
open it and extract the contents. I downloaded the one I transferred with unix
ftp via zmodem and Shrinkit wasn't so happy. That file was 512 bytes larger, 
presumably due to an applesingle header. Shrinkit can create applesingle but 
can't access it, so it appears.
