I've been having some problems getting some of the files at the ftp site
tybalt.caltech.edu to work for me.  They FTP just fine, I download them to my
IIgs, no problem there.  I then run the files through Binscii v. 1.0.3 (is
there a newer, more user friendly, version?) and then try to run the file it
produced through Shrinkit 2.01.  Shrinkit shows me that there are several
files, but _none_ of these files have *names*. Thus, Shrinkit cannot unpack
them because of a Prodos error -- can't save a file without a name, right? 

I'd like to get a newer version of Shrikit -- that itself might be the problem
-- but the copy at tybalt.caltech.edu is itself shrunk (brilliant move), and
the same thing happens when I try to unshrinkit with my Shrinkit 2.01: no
names. 

Any help would be appreciated.
