Hi,

This is going to be a long post.

I have developed 2 small utilities which might be of use to people using
MacOSX to develop AppleII/IIgs programs.

The first one is called XBSQ which takes .bsq encrypted files, unpacks them
and saves the decoded files. The program displays a small window; all the
user have to do is to drag-and-drop (DnD) .bsq files onto this window. The
decoded file(s) will be written to the same folder as the original .bsq
file(s). File attributes like the ProDOS type and auxtype are translated
into MacOSX HFS type and creator codes.

Decoding such files often gives .shk files. This leads to the second program
called NuShrinkItX.

This program came about because I wanted to get a handle on the API of the
NufxLib developed by Andy McFadden.  It is similar in functionality to
Shrink-Fit X (which incidentally is also based on the NufxLib) sans the info
feature.

The program uses an outlineview to display its files and folders; Shrink-Fit
X uses a tableview. Currently the only useful feature is a quick DnD of
file(s) or folder(s) onto the MacOSX desktop. File attributes like the
ProDOS type and auxtype are converted into MacOSX HFS type and creator
codes. This elevates the need to run an emulator (in this case Sweet16)
followed by ShrinkItGS (not to mention importing the archived .shk files)
just to look at a text or source file within the archives.

Given below is a link to a snapshot of a window of this program.
