'''ShrinkIt''' is an archive format for the Apple II series (with also some Mac versions, but not always necessarily compatible cross-platform). It was created originally for the IIgs (relatively late in the history of the Apple II platform), but ported back to some of the other Apple II models. It uses [[LZW]] compression.
