GREYELF@WPI.BITNET (03/22/89)
Someone mentioned in a recent article that to run Shrinkit it was helpful to have a shell. But for floppy users, it was better to make it the first system file on the disk and put BASIC.SYSTEM on there too, so that they could quit to basic. Has it occurred to you to make BASIC.SYSTEM the first file on the disk, and if the file is too large to load, use the bye option to select the program? Hell I wrote a basic program called VSET as part of the shell package I just uploaded that actually offers that option. Check out apple2-l if you still have questions and you'll see what I mean.
