[comp.sys.amiga] amicron shar problems

ain@j.cc.purdue.edu (Patrick White) (05/09/88)

   It was brought to my attension that the sources shar for amicron is broken.

   When unshared (with unshar or sh), it complains that it can't find the file
AmiCron24.c, and indeed this file does not exist.
   What is wrong is that the previous file (lmake) dosen't have a newline
at the end of it, so unshar merrily puts AmiCron24.c into the same file with
lmake.
   The easiest cure is to edit the shar file -- add a newline to the end of
the lmake file to put the "SHAR_EOF" at the beginning of a line.  Then unshar
it... it will complain about lmake being the wrong number of characters, but
everything will unshar correctly.

   I'll fix the copy in the archives (and reshar it too).
   Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.
