Hi Blake,

My suggestion for you to use with your G4 would be to try using Shrink II
- available for downloading from:

ftp://tarnover.dyndns.org/cabi/GS.Emulators/Misc.Mac.Stuff/

I use Shrink II for most all of my ShrinkIt archive needs with transfers
on disks from the Mac to the IIgs.  Shrink II will make a DiskCopy 4.2 disk
image file of any ShrinkIt SDK (disk archive) that you can save to either your
Mac desktop (to open and work with by file contents, etc. - you can even add to
or remove files from the ShrinkIt shk, bny, bxy archives, make your own
ShrinkIt shk or hxy ShrinkIt archive on your G4 and also create a ShrinkIt
archive - encode and decode binSCII ) or simply 
copy the DiskCopy 4.2 disk image file to a Mac 1.4 MB disk for an old fashioned
 'sneakernet' transfer to your IIgs, (as I often do) then convert it back to a
REAL disk using any program that will do that - like; Sheppy's shareware
program -- 'ImageMaker' or the IIgs application program - Clone, would also do
a DiskCopy 4.2 disk image conversion to a REAL disk on the IIgs.

Another option to use would be to get 'Bernie ][ the Rescue' -- (the very
impressive Apple IIgs emulator for the Mac PPC models) and have all the
functionality of a IIgs (plus a lot the REAL IIgs just can't do) in your G4,
for virtually all of your Apple IIgs needs. 

Anyway, that's all of what I use for such needs.

Cheers & Happy Holidays to All,
Tom
