Need some help here. In the comp.binaries.ibm.pc file many times
files are posted that require the extractor to us "sh" to shell
out the fill into usable code. This looks like unix stuff and I
do not have unix only VMS and MSDOS. What do I need to use
these files?
thanks

I think you may have. I think the point is needing an unshar util, not a uudecoder. -- (Another fine mess brought to you by valley@gsbsun.uchicago.edu)

Bill places all the c.b.i.p postings in multi-part, uuencoded zoo archives. Uuexe413 is definitely the tool of choice for these. I use it daily. I have yet to see a shell archive in this group. Other groups, though, have shell archives frequently. I unpack them on my DOS machine with ms_sh, after adding a "swap off" to the head of each part. (if you don't do this, the original shell may not swap, but all sub-spawned shells _will_, which makes for an ungodly slow unpack!) Here are a few other possibilites, from SIMTEL: Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> SHAREXE.ARC B 159288 880221 Unix-like shar/unshar for DOS TOADSHR1.ARC B 34760 890615 DOS Unix-compatible shar/unshar, w/TP 5.0 src UNSHAR.ARC B 24192 880326 Disassemble a shar file Hope this helps. -- Roy M.

I have a unshar program for DOS that I got off one of the sources groups a couple of years ago. It isn't very smart, but along with a few additional hacks that I have butchered into it I have had no difficulty in unsharing numerous things that have come my way. If the ORIGINAL POSTER would mail me and give me his email address I will mail it to him. (I don't want to end up mailing dozens of them!) I will also, if I can remember it later when I have time, send it to the c.b.i.p. administrator (our friend Bill) for posting on c.b.i.p. when it comes to the top of the queue.
