If you have access to comp.binaries.amiga on a Unix box, this little script might help you. I whipped it up in a few minutes and it seems to work on everything Tad has sent thru so far. I call it Amyshar: #!/bin/sh cat $* | sed '1,/^sed/d'|sed '/^SHAR_EOF/,/^sed/d'|sed s/^X//| uudecode -- Prerequisites: You must have the programs "sed" and "uudecode" (and unix so you can execute the above unix script) 1. Put the script above in a file, name it Amyshar, make it executable. 2. Then go into your news reader and enter comp.binaries.amiga 3. Save all the parts to a program into one large file (in order of course) 4. At the shell prompt, type: Amyshar sharfile (where sharfile is the name of the large file you saved to from the newsreader) 5. Ta Da! you now have a zoo file. You don't have to worry about chopping the files at the 'cut here' lines, or stripping off the headers. Amyshar ignores all that. I hope this helps some people out there. P.S.> Maybe we can get this into the monthly Amiga posting? -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps.
