Actually, I don't agree with you, but that's beside the point.. :-)

That's very true -- development of ShrinkIt started back in august of
1988.  I was approached by a very LARGE software house which wanted to market
Shrinkit GS for $79.95.  I said "no" because I thought that was too expensive.

UnShrinkIt and UnShrinkIt/DA would do that.  Since ShrinkIt/GS will be
freeware, this may change...
