As it stands it's a pretty small subset of the swt archiver. It's missing byte counts and trailer records, which would be required if it's to completely replace shar. On the other hand, it's out there and widely distributed, and is capable of unarching files created with the full-blown version. It's a good place to start. Meanwhile I'll see if I can't come up with something more complete. -- Peter da Silva, *NIX support guy @ Ferranti International Controls Corporation. Biz: peter@ficc.uu.net, +1 713 274 5180.
