     There probably is; but, the version you end up with still needs the
HFS.FST patch.

     Why not just avoid the hassle and download the plain shrinked files from
one of the Apple Cabi.net sites? You can find the disks and directions at ...

ACN Florida  ftp://24.96.48.134:6502/Cabi_Archives/System/Sys601INSTALL/
ACN Tarnover  ftp://tarnover.dyndns.org/cabi/System/Sys601INSTALL/


     As the directions say, you can unshrink the files using 8-bit ShrinkIt or
GS-ShrinkIt. If you need ShrinkIt, you can download the current 8-bit ShrinkIt
as an Apple II self-extracting file from Ground at ...

ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/useful.stuff/ .

The file is Shrink.exe; and there is Text information file named
"SHRINK.EXE.INFO.txt".
