- First, what kind of file are you trying to unpack--ShrinkIt (.SHK) or
- StuffIt (.SIT)? Big difference...StuffIt is a Macintosh compression
- algorithm that hasn't been ported to the Apple II.
-
- If it's a ShrinkIt file, any recent version of ShrinkIt should be able
- to unpack the file. The amount of RAM in your system is irrelevant;
- what matters is the amount of free space on your HD.

- Why? If everybody replied by email, comp.sys.apple2 would be a ghost
