I would like to know if the authors of ShrinkIt (Andy) and BinSCII (Dave)
consider doing a version of their programs as CDAs?

ShrinkIt would be especially useful as sometimes one may need to shrink
that one file for file transfer... currently the only way is to quit the
communications program, run ShrinkIt, and run the communications program
again.  If ShrinkIt is rewritten as a CDA, it would save much of the
hassle.

I suppose the CDA version of ShrinkIt would be bare bones... perhaps with
only a 'Shrink' and an 'UnShrink' command, just like BinSCII.

Any comments?
