What happened to the SHK option for downloading?

I remember that not that long ago (about May, 2008) there used to be two ways to download files, as 2mg and also as SHK. HOWEVER, since this site has been redone, i'
ve noticed that apparently shrinkit isn't offered for file downloading now? Or am i just missing something... I was just wondering since back in May I had downloaded all the software on here as .2mg, and meant to go back and get it in shk too, since I didn't know how to convert from 2mg to shk.

Be sure to read the FAQ. The very first point includes instructions for how to convert 2images back to original disks on a IIGS.

I notice that the FAQ doesn't mention what seems (to a novice like me) the easiest way to transfer a 2MG image to a IIGS. I don't have a hard drive, so I just boot up ADTpro from floppy and use it to receive a .2mg file directly to a blank 3.5" floppy. (I happen to be using a serial cable to connect to a GNU/Linux PC, but I think any setup should work since the ADTpro server is written in Java).

My only hesitance with using ADTpro is that I don't know if it can handle 2MG headers correctly.
