Gnack.  Ok, this is what I am trying to do:  I FTP stuff from hither and
thither into my account (somwhere between hither and thither close to point
'C').  Then I FTP it into the Macintoddlers at school.  (This saves five to
eight hours in download time over kermit (blech) ing at 2400 baud.)  Anyhow,
is there anything out there that will get files of a Mac disk into some useful
form, especially .shk files?  I have HFSLink and A2FX, but I can't seem to get
them into a form ShrinkIt or GSHK can do anything with.  Actually, I've never
successfully gotten a file from an HFS disk to work with anything, but that's
another story.

The file I most recently tried was ftaxmas.shk at tybalt.caltech.edu.  GSHK did
recognize that it was a shrunk disk, but usually said the data was corrupted
(after attacking an innocent disk in another drive.)

Other stuff, just in case:  I can only FTP in stream mode, I don't have a hard
drive so I don't want >800k of the same file binsciied all over my desk, if I
can't transfer an shk file from HFS to Prodos disks, then I'll get them from a
BBS long distance.

Thanks.
