    There's no trick to it at all. It seems that GS ShrinkIt looks at the file
    and determines how it is archived! Pretty neat. Unfortunately, GSHK cannot
    do archiving save that which it was designed for (NuFX). Not a really big
    limitation at all though.

There must still be some kind of trick.  I just downloaded a .Z file
from a unix system using kermit.  Shrinkit 3.0.x (I forget if its 1 or 2
that I have) didn't recognize that there was any file to handle.  Do I
need to download it with some particular file type?  Or does in only
work with GS Shrinkit (I haven't bothered to capture that yet.)
