	Uh, last time I checked, ShrinkIt could UnShrink 5.25" disk images
to 3.5" disks (or an 800k /RAM5) - I believe Andy put this feature in for
people specifically in your situation. Although I agree that things should be
archived as files whenever possible (me, I don't even like to bother with
3.5" disks), did you even try to UnShrink the disks on your machine?

	Speaking of ShrinkIt - anyone seen beta versions of SI/GS yet?

	Oh, Disclaimer: This is going from my memory, which, as more than
two people are aware of, is not perfect...
