That's interesting -- I got 213 messages from info-apple and others in my
mailbox this morning.  Amazing.  Is this normal?

In case I forgot to post it before, ShrinkIT 2.0 only "features" 5 extra
things:

o  Extraction and UnSQueezing from Binary II files is supported.

o  Extraction and UnSQueezing from ACU files is supported.

o  Enhanced handling of corrupted NuFX, Binary II, and ACU archives.

o  Types the contents of WordPerfect ($A0) files without much mess
   (thanks to DTS for publishing that technote this month and Matt Deatherage
    for writing it :-)

o  Supports disk swapping for those who have single-drives.

ShrinkIT 2.0 should be available "around" April 1 (no, I won't release it on
April fools day, it's _just_ a target date -- and, no, that's not to imply
that I don't have any of this coded, either.  It's sitting in front of me,
I'm just waiting for reports from beta-testers to come back :-).

If anyone is interested, I supposed to be a guest on GEnie in the a2 forums
section for an RTC on April 9.  See you there!  :-)
