This wouldn't be quite right I just realized, since most of these littlee
numbers were only designed with 5.25 inch disks in mind.

Any program that deals with ProDOS could do it though.

And certainly packing the entire disk as a single SHK file will work.

I believe that 8-bit ShrinkIt, while unable to archive individual forked
files, is quite able to pack the bit image of an entire disk containing
forked files.
