Nathan is absolutely correct, of course, but to help clarify what he
said:
 
Shrinkit.System is a launcher for Shrinkit, in order to create a
self-booting disk, you would need ProDOS, Shrinkit and Shrinkit.System
on the disk.
 
It's been awhile since I've posted this, so here goes:
 
Dear Apple II user,
As a service to the Apple II community, I offer a disk with all of the
software you need to get started in the world of Apple II "modeming".
 
This double sided 5.25" disk contains:
Sneeze 2.1:    Freeware by Karl Bunker - program launcher, txt & awp
               viewer/printer, graphics viewer, utility set.
 
Shrinkit 3.4:  Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Apple II standard
               archiving/dearchiving program, utility set.
 
BinSCII 1.0.3: Freeware by David Whitney - Binary/Text conversion utility
               (Apple II standard).
 
UU 1.1:        Freeware by Andy Tefft - Binary/Text conversion utility (Unix
               standard).
 
Comm.System 2.5:    Freeware by Jim Ferr - Simply, easy to use communications
                    program that supports Xmodem transfer and ASCII capture.
 
Unshrink 2.1:  Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Shrinkit for II+'s, unenhanced
               and/or 64k IIe's.
 
In archived format (Shrinkit archive, of course) Zlink - Shareware by David
Whitney - is included. Zlink is a more advanced communications program that
offers X & Ymodem transfer capability and VT-100 emulation.
 
Note: Users are responsible for Zlink's shareware fee, should they use it
after the trial period.
 
To take full advantage of these programs, IIe users should ensure their
machines are enhanced, with at least 128k of RAM. IIc users should determine
their ROM version by typing the following and pressing return at the
Applesoft
basic (]) prompt:
 
] Print Peek(64447)   <press return>
 
If a value other than 255 is returned, then your IIc has the necessary ROM
version to take full advantage of your machines telecommunication abilities.
 
For unenhanced IIe's and II+'s, ProDOS and DOS versions of Kermit are also
available by request.
 
IIe ($10) and IIc ($12) modem cables also available by special arrangement.
 
All original documentation files are included.

What this disk does *NOT* contain are ProDOS and Basic.System. ProDOS and

local Apple II users group, or from the ByteWorks, Inc.
