Version 2.1, which I d/loaded from CI$ will work from the Finder for me too.  I
did have some problems initially with it crashing when I went to the file menu
and tried to load a file for conversion.  What I did was put SHRConvert on the
same disk/volume as the Finder and launch the file SHRConvert.finder first.
