- Here is yet another version of "sh" -- a program to unshar file from
- over the net. I wrote it from my own need--I found existing programs
- to behave poorly (not understand formats, guru, etc.) I put into it
- the features that were important to me (and left out the ones I didn't
- need :-). Particularly, I intended it to be expandable to different
- formats. At this point it understands about cat and a simple (and
- common) form of sed. Adding new forms should be easy (although I have
- not had needed to do this myself to unshar files I've found).
-
- It should not need a lot of stack space to run.
-
- I've built into it a variety of options so that it can be customized
- for individual preferences. These allow one to decide how verbose its
- messages are or how paranoid it is about strange forms.
-
- I have not done extensive testing on it (remember, I originally wrote
- this for myself), but I have been using it for the past six months
- with no problems.
-
- I have not included a "shar" program with this, as I found the
- existing one(s) to work acceptably well.
