ShrinkII is not the bet option IMHO... I've found it runs terribly slow
and crashes quite frequently, but I didn't pay for it ***, so no
biggie... as far as dealing with any kind of A2 files on the Mac, I
found that using Bernie ][ the Rescue with a shared RAM disk works
pretty well for moving/changing files.
Then you can use DiskDup+ on any Mac with a Superdrive or 800K floppy to
make GS bootable disks.

Hope that's not too OT, I wasn't following this thread :)
