ShrinkWrap is a utility that can easily turn a disk into an electronically transmittable file (via the Internet, etc.) and then just as easily, return it to an exact disk image of the original source disk. ShrinkWrap 3.0 supports all commonly used image file formats, it provides StuffIt compression capabilities, and 40-bit encryption for international and domestic security.
It is a System 7 and OS 8 application that contains both 68k and PowerPC native code, is AppleEvent aware, 32-bit clean, AV, '040 cache, and virtual memory compatible.

Why use ShrinkWrap? ShrinkWrap sports an easy-to-use drag and drop interface that allows users to create exact duplicates of image files from disks. Features include recreating the exact icon placement, appearance of all windows, and the correct name of the disk. With these disk images, users have assurance that all files have been duplicated correctly and completely.
Disk images are frequently used for backing up original floppy disks to removable media, installing Apple's system updates and system software extensions, distributing multiple disk images on floppies, mounting floppies on Macs without a SuperDrive, creating "instant" RAM disks, distributing software?collections and archives on CD-ROM, and verifying the integrity of development builds. ShrinkWrap is the ideal method of distributing disk images over the Internet.
