OK... so I ftp'd the system disk, mcverted it, and got a .sit.bin file.
I knew that ShrinkIt would unpack that kind of file, so I downloaded it
(took 45 min.) and opened it in GShk.  I click "Extract," and it prompts
me, "put file(s) where?"  Apparently it doesn't recognize the StuffIt
"dImg" format.  AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!  What does Apple think, that
we all have Macintoshi to unpack our Apple IIGS software?  Of course they
wouldn't THINK of using a lowly IIGS to pack the disk.  They probably haven't
even heard of ShrinkIt.

Anyway... does anybody have a solution to this?  Preferably one that
doesn't involve re-downloading the file?  I'm sure there will be lots of
messages like this one, but I'm just playing it safe.
