     Nice Fonts site!

     Most Apple II .shk files are ShrinkIt-compressed collections of files.
Another kind of ShrinkIt file is a whole-disk archive, usually designated by
the .sdk suffix. 

     To unshrink most Apple II .shk files, you can use ShrinkIt v3.4 running
on an Apple II or Apple II emulator (like AppleWin). It is available on the
PDSHRINKITS.dsk disk image on Ground at
ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/useful.stuff/Disks/ .

     For more about ShrinkIt files, see
