We received a bundle of maps that no longer contain the "----cut here----" string. This broke my shell script for updating our data-base. I am now depending on at least one shell comment line (":" our "#") before anything important in the shar file. Can I have a suggestion from the administrators on some better string which I can rely on always being present in a map shar file (and never in a non-shar file)?
