This is not necessarily a problem with Prodos or BLU. I put the files together on an Apple Unidisk 3.5" disk, so it's possible it was too big. I thought I had it down to where it would fit on a 5.25" disk. There is indeed a couple of Utility Disks for MAF which DO call for Shrinkit - I hope you can get it to work. As for an "empty" Prodos disk taking up 6 blocks, you have to account for booting code, directory blocks, and other similar things.
