For this reason, 8-bit ShrinkIt should not be used to unshrink. SHK files which contain files with GS/OS resource forks and. (5.25" whole-disk archives created by GS-ShrinkIt do not preserve volume number.) 8-bit/IIe ShrinkIt can be used to fully unshrink any Apple II. sdk file of a DOS 3.3 5.25" disk created by 8-bit ShrinkIt also preserves volume number- important for some games and utilities which depend upon volume numbers to identify disks.

However, quite a few old A2 files are still in binscii form and binscii is used for files uploaded to 2. Today, practically all servers can handle pure binary transfers so, binscii is no longer in popular use.
