For those who are interested, I'm on spring break right now and won't be answering much of my mail until I get back... If you sent me a letter, expect a response after 3/28/89. Thanks! Also, I haven't gotten anything from info-apple in 5 days... is the newsfeed still working or something else weird happening on my end? ShrinkIT 2.0 should go to beta-testers this week. My original target date for release was going to be this friday, but it looks like (for testing purposes ) that we aren't going to be able to meet it, so a good bet would be another week delay or more. ShrinkIT 2.0 UnSQueezes Binary II SQueezed files (.BQY files)... it's cool. ;) andy shrinkit@moravian.edu shrinkit%moravian.edu@relay.cs.net rutgers!liberty!batman!shrinkit

I can't send mail to the listserver, so i can't download anything from there. I think ShrinkIT is a great program, probably the best packing program for the apple //, keep up the great work.

Moravian.Edu is a CSNET site that doesn't have access to USENET
(comp.binaries.apple2). Andy sends ShrinkIT to APPLE2-L which sends it
to Paul Nakada (at Harvard) who BOTH archives it for ftp (and other ftp
sites) AND posts it to UUCP.
Assuming Andy, Chris, and Paul aren't distracted by such mundane activities
as making a living and surving exams, you'll see ShrinkIT 2.0 on UUCP
soon after (faster than Microsoft anyway :-) Andy releases it.

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! :-) andy >Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET >Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET >U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] > ---- Andy Nicholas CsNET: shrinkit@moravian.edu Box 435, Moravian College InterNET: shrinkit%moravian.edu@relay.cs.net Bethlehem, PA 18018 liberty!batman!shrinkit@sun.com ---- UUCP: rutgers!lafcol!lehi3b15!mc70!shrinkit I have a CD player, send CD's. rutgers!liberty!batman!shrinkit I have a IIgs, send a GS+.
