Can someone/anyone please e-mail me the spec for SHAR, and SH?
Pleasepleaseplease?
I don't have access to a UNIX machine, so I'm left to
un-SHARing things on my AMIGA. I've been unsing the version off of
FredFishDisk #92, but the thing GURUs all the **** time! (I figured out
that in order to work all the comment lines had to be removed, but now
I've discovered that even this won't make it work consistently...)
Basically, I need a
description of the specs for SHAR, SH, and SED, so I can attempt to write
my own version. Lines like the following confuse me a little, so I need a
bit of help :
sed 's/^X//' << \SHAR_EOF > virusx.zuu
(I can puzzle out some of it, like 's/^X//' must mean substitute "^X" with
"", but the redirection stuff I've not dealt with much.)
Thanks in advance.

Take input from this file until you see a 'SHAR_EOF'.

There is no standard format, or spec for shar files. It's just a bunch of commands that the unix bourne shell can execute (or cause to be executed). Rather than re-inventing the wheel, use the unshar program recently posted to comp.sources.amiga .. works great. If you don't have it for some reason, send mail to archive-server@kilowatt.sun.com with this as the body of the message: send unix/unshar.1 of course you can't unshar this either, so you'll have to edit the shar file by hand, but all you really need to do is strip the X from the beginning of each line and then uudecode the file. ..bob
