[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] too much work

rmarks@KSP.Unisys.COM (richard marks) (04/18/88)

I agree.  It is just too much work to edit each file with vi to cut
then run it as a shell script then uudecode.  Lets just keep it simple.

What purpose do these shell archives serve?  A little bit of sequence checking
for a lot of effort.  Who really has problems with sequencing anyway?

If you use the shell script that was provided it is much less work.
The script removes the headers, runs sh on the files, cats them together,
and runs uudecode on it. Appears to the best solution I have seen when
a file HAS to be split in to several parts for transmission.
