You should transfer the files via floppy from your PC to your Mac, then copy
them to an 800K ProDos disk to get them over to your IIgs. On the IIgs, use
Shrinkit GS to extract the archives. Shrinkit GS may extract some files, or
it may want to create floppies for you. You may need to use Azimov to
transfer the archive contents to floppy.

There is a way to extract Shrinkit files on a Mac, using Shrink II. You'd
extract to a ProDos floppy.

Hope I got that right, haven't done it for a while. In any case, the faq is
a goldmine of detail on how to do things like that:
