I've unpacked them all the time, but how do I make one? I presume there are a variety of different scripts that make these things (it's not that tough), but what are they called? Is there a standard name? We run Ultrix here at Binghamton, is it called something else there? etc. . . Actually, if it's a script, I'd appreciate getting one to run under MKS Korn shell. . . Thanks in advance. . . -- O----------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, cjoslyn@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .

All you have to do is something like this from the shell: $ shar file1 file2 file3 > OUTFILE This works in System V, and 4.3 BSD. It should also work on the Ultrix (hopefully!!). And it is a Bourne shell script, not a Korn shell. But it should not be too hard to code it in ksh, if you follow the sh version. Have fun... -- /| |\ Vijay K.
