By popular demand, herein is enclosed a bourne shell
script that will produce a shell-archive format file of all
the files in the users current directory when executed. Usage
is quite simple: save this file to 'shar', chmod +x shar and
then shar <output file name>. It does the rest!
(Hopefully this will result in more stuff being submitted
to the net!)

# sh script generates a shell archive containing all files in the
# current directory. It uses /tmp/$1 as a temporary output file
# then moves that file to $1...
#
# Note that if the first character of this file is NOT a hash
# symbol (#) this script will ALSO work under the csh shell!!
# (check the manual if you don't believe me!)
