Is anyone out there using Softswitch on a GS?  I have it but have never
set up a disk to boot into it.  I am thinking about revising my setup so
that I would boot into SoftSwitch and running ecp8 in one window, TIC in
another, binscii in another and shrinkit in the last.  This would give
me a pretty nice environment, where I could be downloading files in
ymodem batch mode in one window, and, when the download completed, switching
to the binscii to turn it into a shk file and, 70% or less of the time,
switching to shrinkit to extract the non-forked files.

Has anyone tried anything like this?  Am I just dreaming?  How much
memory am I going to need?  I would think that it shouldnt be too bad -
sounds like less than 500k, which I have.
