Yes, ProDOS 1.4 is/was the cause of the problems with ShrinkIt 2.1.  The reaso
is that there are some bugs in P8 1.4's AppleTalk/AppleShare routine
ShrinkIt 2.1 was designed to be AppleShare-compatible, so it must use the
AppleTalk stuff.  (I suspect it's related to the bug in ProDOS 1.4 which cause
MLI call $42 to execute code in the second bank of RAM.  In real life, MLI cal
$42 is supposed to allow you to identify all online network volumes.)

In any case, the ShrinkIt 2.1 which was just uploaded to GEnie (and probably
other places) has had that bug fixed.  Andy did not change the version number
because it was only a problem with ProDOS 1.4.
