The version of SHRINK.COM posted by Paul Kopp, like the previous one I got from someone else, did not work. I am beginning to wonder if it is I who need a SHRINK. The programs both downloaded OK, uudecoded OK, and... failed to load. The error message from DOS in both cases was 136, "Attempt to Read Past End Of File", which suggests that the original file has a problem with its load vectors. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the version of SHRINK.COM that was posted? Has anyone else successfully uudecoded and loaded it? Aside from all that, I STILL don't have a working SHRINK program or equivalent, so I am unable to post Turbo BASIC / FROST BASIC for those 800 owners who are eagerly awaiting it. Since we are THIS close to a way of posting it, however, I would like to urge someone to find a version of SHRINK or an equivalent program, test it, and e-mail it to me or post it. Better yet, uuencode it, uudecode it using my UUDECODE.BAS, and test the decoded version. If THAT works, then send me the uuencoded version and there is a fighting chance it will work at my end. If that fails, maybe we should ftp it? Heeeelllllpppp! -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
