It does?!  That's a surprise, considering that it isn't mentioned in the 
documentation OR in ShrinkIt-GS itself!  What version are you referring 
to?  The newest I have seen is 1.0.4 (I think).  If this is a new 
addition, please update us...
 
As far as unZiping files, there is a shell utility (EXE) that will handle 
ZIP archives rather well.  Its by Samuel Smith.
 
And as far as LZH, a friend of mine has a Macintosh program that will 
handle LZH archives, but of course unless you have an AppleTalk network 
set up or have a Duet card, it won't do us any good.  I have yet to see a 
program for the Apple that will handle LZHs, but GSHK mentions it as a 
possible addition in future versions, I believe...
