This archive contains OS/2 1.x--2.x versions of shar ("SHell ARchive") and
unshar 3.49. The Sources from the GNUish port were used as the starting
point. Various options will require the utilities
compress, file, [e]grep, sh, touch, uudecode, uuencode, and wc.
All of these are available at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (try pub/os2/all/unix/).
uuencode must accept from stdin. Berkeley uuencode 5.6 was used in testing.
unshar strips headers and feeds to sh. Stewartson's sh works well for
this. sh 2.1 was uploaded to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu with a HPFS bugfix; 2.2 is
currently in beta testing. One problem: sh does not handle the '-s -c'
(clobber files) option in the fashion expected by unshar.
The director.c support from Stewartson's sh is used in the MSC version.
The makefile includes rules for EMX/gcc; however, EMX/gcc does not handle
quoted strings in popen() in the same fashion as MSC. Some of the problems
appear specific to EMX+4os2; most can be fixed by modifying the strings
passed to pipe(), but I have not found a solution for the "grep" line. See
notes.os2.
