I don't remember having to do anything special to get .shk files to be
recognised in GSOS (please correct me if I'm wrong here), but make
sure you change the filetype to be BIN. If the .shk files have a TXT
filetype then they will be recognised as being text documents instead
of shrinkit archives. I use the CDA "File-A-Trix" to change any
filetypes like this.

It could be a similar problem with the .WAV file as well. I'm not sure
what filetype it should be (maybe BIN also?) - but I'm sure someone on
here will know for sure.
