[comp.sys.mac.misc] Looking for UNIX sh utility for Mac

tleaming@taurus.sim.es.com (Taylor Leaming) (04/29/91)

I'm looking for a version of the UNIX sh utility that will run on the Mac
so I can un-shar files without having to have a UNIX account somewhere.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Taylor

A simple but workable 'unshar' utility is available by anonymous ftp
from sumex-aim.stanford.edu and its mirrors as /info-mac/util/unshar.hqx.
Also check out "tar", UUTool (uu**coding), and MacCompress (".Z" compress
and decompress).  All are freeware; all of them work.
