For those of us who care, can we settle on something? I use Davex, and it allows me to identify file types with letters. You know, BAS, AWP, BIN, and so forth... I propose that $E0 (Shrink It shrunk files) be designated with the letters SRK. I'm not sure if that combo is already being used, but it sounded good to me. There's something to be said for continuity. David Oberhart <FFDDO@ALASKA> CIS 72047,1004 If it's "Spring Break, why am I still working?

ShrinkIT's filetype/auxtype combination is $e0/$8002 -- ACU's is $e0/$8001, an ALU's is $e0/$8000. The assigned mnemonic for filetype $e0 is "LBR" for "Library" file (or archive). Please use it. >I'm not sure if that combo is already being used, but it sounded good to me. >There's something to be said for continuity.

The thing that surprised me was that Shrinkit lists its own files as type $E0, rather than type "SRK" in the file dialog box. -- Mike Jetzer "Hack first, ask questions later."

Ack! No! The proper filetype mnemonic for $E0 files is "LBR" for "LiBRary" files (archives, that sort of thing). ShrinkIT displays it as $e0, not "LBR" because when I started this project, no one had a clue as to what "LBR" files were. I suppose I'll change it in the next version... >-- >Mike Jetzer >"Hack first, ask questions later." andy > ---- 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+.

II+ ShrinkIT 1.0 is done. I sent a copy of it to AppleLink PE tonight, along with Murph Sewall, Todd South, Mark Johnson, Dave Whitney, Grant Delaney, and Jason Blochowiak (did I forget anyone?). II+ UnShrinkIT has problems extracting records from archives which go more than 1 level deep into existing subdirectories. This will be fixed in the next day or so. andy ---- 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+.
