After you Unshar'd that Shell Archive.. there are files that named:

	VT100.uue.1, VT100.uue.2.. etc

These files are parts of the whole UUencoded VT100.uue file. Try
Deleting the top comments on VT100.uue.2 and then Join them together,
like this..

	JOIN VT100.uue.1 VT100.uue.2 AS VT100.uue

Then.. 

	DECODE VT100.uue

You should now have a working copy.

Since that file was never complete. FixObjecting it won't help.. I am
pretty sure that the copy is not corrupted. I am using VT100 right now.
