ShrinkIt 1.1 should be available on apple2-L by now.  I sent a copy to Murph
Sewall, and he sent one to Chris... so it 'should' be there by now.
You'll need a copy of BinSCII and BLU to extract the files.

If someone will quickly explain the address to send something to the
comp.apple.binaries (or whatever), I'll mail a copy there, os someone else
can do it. (hey, we don't use the InterNET, and as far as I know, CsNET
doesn't have a fileServer.. an info-server, yes... anyone else know?)

Oh yeah, and a few of you folks have expressed concern that I released "oh so
many versions of ShrinkIt" in 5 days (1.0 to 1.1) -- ShrinkIt 1.0 had a very
bad bug which justifiably *HAD* to be fixed.  I consider being able to
correctly pack a disk (in 1.0) almost paramount to the algorithms working
correctly.  If this bothers you, well, tough.

If the change in version numbers bothers you, I'm also one of those weird
folks who likes to take it easy on everyone's psyche and not use double digit
version numbers if at all possible.  I hate having to remeber things like:
Version 3.41... an extra digit is just something extra to remember... which
is why ShrinkIt 1.0 "suddenly" jumped to 1.1 and not 1.01 -- I also try to
add something for everything I fix so that there is at least some extra
meaning to an update other than bug-fixes.
