There was a program for the Mac that others used to suggest along with
DiskDup+. I believe it was called ProType but not being a Mac person,
I can't be sure.
If you can get ShrinkIt GS (GSHK) up and running under GS/OS, you
won't need to worry about file types or resource forks as it can open
them any type of file even if it has a resource fork. There are also
utilities that run under GS/OS for unpacking BINscii files as well.
Once you've got the IIgs utilities running you should be all set.
Getting those utilities running can be done using the methods that
have been given but I know that Syndicomm, and possibly other places,
will sell you a telecommunications starter disk and operating system
disks for a modest fee.
