	  Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! I promise I won't do it again ... no more
	"writting" ... I promise, I promise! For those of justifiably
	flogged me for my poor spelling I apologize. Now to business.
	My SHAR has receive a significant face lift through the efforts
	of John Myers. It does things like coruption checks efficiently,
	barfs on binary files and doesn't say "writting" (wild cheering),
	plus other goodies. The SHAR now seems cleaned up enough that
	I'm attempting to get it posted in "mod.sources". So look there
	for coming attractions.
	  Thanks to everybody who supplied fixes, enhancements or comments.
	Because now I have a SHAR that I'm happy with.

    The version of shar on my system detects binary files, and encodes them,
    after packing up a simple C program to do the unpacking at the receiving
    end.  The appropriate cc command is also included in the shar to do the
    compile in /tmp.
