Here is a copy of my shell archive creation script.
Please, no flames about this kind of thing being posted
before; I`m sure it has, but in the couple of months
I`ve been reading the news, I haven`t seen anything.
In any event it is pretty short.
To run it just type 'sh makeshar files... > output.shar'.

# This is a shell archive file. To extract files: #
# #
# 1) Make a directory for the files. #
# 2) Write a file, such as "file.shar", containing #
# this archive file into the directory. #
# 3) Type "sh file.shar". Do not use csh. #
