I was wondering if anybody had done shar for the Mac? It would
be very,very useful to be able to only download the shar file and then
break it up at the Mac.
Thanks
Nick

I ported it to the Mac. It packs TEXT files into a single file, and unpacks it. Sources to both have been posted in the past, as well as the Mac binary. I have all the above.

Another approach, which does not have the advantage of doing text compression, is to use unix 'more' to create a single file via the command % more *.* >whatever When you do that, more creates a file with the individual source files separated by :::::::::::::: source/file/name :::::::::::::: which can then be parsed. Obviously this works best with source files. I've written a little 'c' routine for Lightspeed C which 'unmore's such files. If anybody's interested in such a hack, I'll send it via mail. Frankly, I'm more interested in knowing if anybody has ported the ARC program from the public domain to the mac. If it does compression, it would be better if running on both the unix and the mac ends. The 'c' source was posted a while back, but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. -- ------------------------------------------------- Ed Reed - Rochester Institute of Technology phone: (716) 334-3006 Delphi: EERTEST GEnie: SQA.INC Usenet: ...rochester!ritcv!eer -------------------------------------------------

Someone has a MacARC0.02 or such posted on Compuserver or Delphi. It's called beta and has an expiration date built in. I downloaded it but haven't gotten Unix ARC running ( which of the X copies works?) so can't even say if it works. By now my copy may have expired even. Given the expiration date I haven't been too interested in trying. -- +==== Jim Budler ==== Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ==== (408) 749-5806 ====+ | Compuserve: 72415,1200 Delphi: JIMBUDLER | | E-mail: jimb@amdcad.AMD.COM Opinion: who, me? | +=== Disclaimer: My company wouldn't let ME speak for them, would they? ===+

Leo Laporte has ported ARC to the Mac. It's called MacArc, the current version is 0.2, and it only does unARCing. He plans on having a newer version soon. You can download it from many Mac BBSs, such as: MacQueue I, San Francisco (415) 661-7374 MacQueue II, San Francisco (415) 753-3002 which are run by Leo himself. He's also the author of QDial, a background dialing DA. --Brian Bechtel {amdahl, hplabs, csi}!bnrmtv!blob

Could you post the sources to fpack for UNIX and Mac ? Thanks, Jason Haines
