Here's a few more tidbits I picked up while testing
this HFS volume.

  o  Files copied from the drive automatilly lose their
      filetype. This is to be expected since the destination
      system doesn't track that info.

  o  SHK/SDK files copied from then back to it will have
      a filetype of zero but Shrinkit and Shrinkit GS opened
      them successfully.

  o  The same applies to a GSCII file (binscii gs) the file
      transferred back and GSCII converted it successfully
      to a valid SHK file replet with filetypes and all.

  o  Transfers between HFS volumes work fine!

With this information I am considering changing the files
on my site to gscii/binscii SHK images to avoid people
getting corrupt files. This will mean another step in
processing the archive but it beats down loading them
from the net.
