Yeah, I did that.  I had googled the file type and aux type and typed
in that info.  Maybe I have a corrupted file, or maybe Deliverance is
not making the changes correctly.  I'll start from scratch and try it
all over again.  If it still doesn't work, I'll attempt to re-download
the file and try it again.  At least I know I was using the correct
values.  The only issue that just came to mind, is something I read
while googling that said not to shrink a bsc file.  So I am wondering
that when I use bscit on the gscii.bsc file and it then shows up as a
gscii.shk after bscit works its magic, is this correct?  should it
automatically be changed to a shk file type?  I did not have any
options when I ran bscit, so I am assuming that what comes out is
correct....  that I should just change the file type to LBR or $e0 and
the aux   to 8002.  I'll give another shot.  Thanks for the advice.

BTW..the file associations are set up.....If i double click on any shk
file, shrinkitGS automatically launches.
