Well, I got all 5 parts of the 'shar'ed files but when I go to unshar them it
tells me that an end_of_file was expected. I can just insert an
end_of_file, but
that doesn't eradicate the complaint. I'm probably doing something
stupid but if
someone can help out, it would be appreciated. Maybe they were posted
incompletely? Thanks in advance.

I can just insert an The shar was bust. You'll have to save the 5 parts into a file, edit the file to remove the news headers and trailers, then unshar it. You can tell this from the fact that the first line in the second shar started with an X (to be removed suring unshar) rather than the expected # comment. -- George Ferguson ARPA: ferguson@cs.rochester.edu University of Rochester UUCP: {decvax,rutgers}!rochester!ferguson Rochester NY 14627 VOX: (716) 275-2527

Mant thanks to everyone that replied to my post. Yes I was being stupid
and I did not realize they were all 1 shar file. For anyone interested
the fix was to
cat file1 file 2 file3 file4 file5 > invaders and then deleting all
the header garbage. (Searching for Article: using vi worked nicely).
Again thanks to everyone who answered. If I didn't personally thank you
it is because my mailer is still a little confused and couldn't find you.
By the way. This game is a very entertaining mini screen that you could
play forever (if you like shootemups :-)
