You must enjoy being **flamed** 1) do ===> NOT <=== post program files (except maybe VERY VERY short little things (say not more than 20 lines!!!) to info-apple which is a DISCUSSION list (some systems will NOT except files of more than 10K or so, and many of our friends on UUCP pay by the kbyte (more or less) and won't appreciate your spending their $$$ on programs they can readily obtain elsewhere if they want it). 2) ShrikIt 0.95 --> WAS <--- mailed by APPLE2-L the afternoon of Jan 30 and IS available in that (and other) archive. BTW the headers on your message indicate that you sent it only to BITNET subscribers (I hope so, it'll cause MUCH less trouble that way).

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody has heard, knows, or seen anything looking like a 27-page NuFX archives description for Shrinkit?? You see, after I received Shrinkit v0.95, and did all that you were supposed to do to it(unpack....etc) There was a file called ShrinkIt.docs(or something like that...) anyway, it was documentation for Shrinkit. In the document it said the following: "The files are NuFX archives, descriptions of which are available in a 27-page document which I wrote finsihed earlier in december...." Questions: 1) What is/are "NuFX" archives? 2) Is this document available to the public? I would *REALLY* appreciate a reply, from anyone who knows *ANYTHING* about all this! Thanks for your time.... ...Dale

NuFX is a format for storing multiple "records" within a file. Each record may represent (at the moment) a File (including files with a resource fork) or a Disk. There's more to the description (obviously - this won't be 27 pages long :), but that should pretty much do it. ShrinkIt is a program that uses the NuFX storage format... I'm not sure if Andy wants the document released to the public yet - it's not completely stable yet (pretty close, tho'). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason Blochowiak (blochowi@garfield.cs.wisc.edu) "Not your average iconoclast..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
