Kish, the current version of GS-ShrinkIt is v1.0.4 -- it fixes some serious
problems with earlier versions.  If you don't have any other way to get a
a copy then the net, then send me some email and I'll mail you a copy (which
you can decode as long as you have binscii).  I keep binscii'd copies of
shrinkit 3.2.3 and gs-shrinkit 1.0.4 around because I get a lot of requests
for them.

Also, some other information would be useful -- which System software are you
using?  GS-ShrinkIt will run on anything on or after v5.0.2 of the System,
but it would be preferable to run on the latest released System, v5.0.4.

Since you mentioned that you can run GS-ShrinkIt several times in a row
without crashing, what desk accessories do you have in your machine?  Some
DAs are really notorious about giving GS-ShrinkIt a hard time (and make it
crash).   Also, what program are you using to launch GS-ShrinkIt?  Are you
using GS-ShrinkIt as the "start" program? (it shouldn't matter, but who knows?)

Any other information you could provide would help greatly (like the exact
error messages you were receiving when running GS-ShrinkIt).

thanks,
