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.
One format used by this program is called NuFX; when NuFX-format data was placed into Binary II format for transfer, the file extension .bxy was used.
