All I have ever seen of shrinkit is the proposal.  I discussed its 
implications with Floyd Zink (of blu and blu ii fame) and he had indicated
that while it had a lot of good ideas, being incompatible with what
was already out there made it tough going for it to catch on.

As far as I know, no one has posted the shrink it package, and as of last
Sat it wasnt on Compuserve - anyone have it out there?

Finally, there were several folks who were goin g to look at the Executioner
code and modify it so that it didnt use the 'bad' characters that get mangled
in transfer - did anyone make any progress on that line?  The version
of uuencode that was used in comp.binaries.apple2 recently was the
ancient one which didnt protect against bitnet mangling (it left trailing
blanks for instance).  I know that a few people were porting the most
recent safe version of that code to the Apple II line as well.
