A fantastically simple routine. I like it. Our news program doesn't.
The "~FUNKY STUFF~" looks like an unsuccessful effort at a "~" escape
to our news program. Oh well. The following works on our system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
: Create a shell that can be run to extract a bunch of files.
echo ": This is a shar archieve. Extract with sh, not csh."
echo ": The rest of this file will extract:"
echo ":" "$*"
for file
do
echo "echo extracting - $file"
echo "sed 's/^X//' > $file << '/*EOF'"
/bin/cat $file | sed 's/^/X/'
echo "/*EOF"
done
