I can't speak for dave, but I doubt highly whether there will be a CDA version
of ShrinkIt in the near future.  There might be an NDA out sometime which
just unshrinks, but a full CDA of ShrinkIt is not something I want to 
consider.  Imagine this: I graduate soon, and have to get a "real" job
making "real" money to pay back my "real" student loans.  That will probably
not leave much time to play with my GS.

Or, why not just build ShrinkIt INTO the terminal program.  That's what
I had originally envisioned for those things which sit on the shelf
collecting dust...
