I spent quite a bit of time looking for and working with .shk files today. In the process, I made some notes and added a page to my New User Kit. I called it Extracting .shk Disk Images on Windows.
I have to be honest here, they stump me. When I ran into .shk files in the past, you downloaded them onto your Apple II, saved them on a diskette and then booted up shrinkit to extract the files. That made sense to me. Now they are stored online, you download them to your modern computer. How do you get them to your Apple II?
Some of the .shk files contain disk images and CiderPress can extract the disk image for you on your Windows machine.
At this point, that is where I am, on this subject. As far as individual files stored in .shk files, I am still trying to figure out how to extract them.
