  13. I noticed that 'shar -C' does not work using the version of shar in
  14. pub/os2/all/archivers/shar324x.exe at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  The '-C' option
  15. is to call 'compress' and 'uuencode'. Looking over the executable (with
  16. 'strings'), it appears that redirection and pipes are causing the problem.
  17.  
  18. Any comments? Pointers to other shar's for OS/2?  I noticed that the GNUish
  19. shar 3.49 for DOS works...
