- Here is a quick and dirty shar archiver that I use on an MS-DOS
- machine to package several C source files for porting to a UNIX
- system. The compiler I use (DeSmet) converts "\n" to "\r\n" so
- I run the resulting file through a '\r' remover (such as tr -d '\015').
- The archive uses the "cat" format and goes to file "shar.out".
