You need to make a foreign command for SHAR.EXE :
$ shar :== $dev:[directory]shar
Don't forget the '$'. dev: is the device (ex. USER1:) and [directory] is the
directory path (ex. [GUINEAU.AMIGA])
for ex: shar :== $user1:[guineau.amiga]shar
then $ shar -u archive_file_name should unpack it. Make sure you delete
anything above the "cut-here" line in the shar archive file.

Yes. The PD/Shareware listing posted looks like it needs
SHAR -u filename followed by uudecoding of the specific files
it creates. Also, I noticed that the document said it was posting
3 of 5. Some of the postings may need to be concatenated prior to
running SHAR.

| re: .1 I did all that John, but I ended up with an (apparently)
uuencoded file minus all the shar stuff at the beginning and end.
re: .2 Thanks, I thought that's what I might have to do, does anyone
have uudecode for VMS anywhere ?

It's in ANT::LIB1:[SMCAFEE.PUBLIC]uudecode.*
But, I originally got it from Dave Wecker's account (thanks dave).

| Well, I got everything, assigned everything, ran everything and
I get a message "No begin line" from uudecode. I am assuming then
that the file is one of a series and should be concatenated with
other files before decoding. (presumably the first file would have
the "begin line" included). I looked at uudecode.c and apparently
it's looking for an 'end/n' as well, and I don't have that either.

You are right. In spreading out a large file over various postings,
you must get them all and concatenate. Your first line will
be:
begin #ofbytes? filename
your last line will be
end
Good luck.

| 1720.7 | PD disk list available | NAC::PLOUFF | Cider Season Has Begun | Wed Oct 12 1988 14:35 | 13 |
| John Kjellman sent me the missing parts of his 5-part posting
via E-mail. The complete listing of Fish Disks and the other public
domain disks he is offering can be copied from:
NAC::USER$12:[PLOUFF.PUBLIC.AMIGA]PD-DISKS.ARC
for the next week or so. Can someone offer this file a permanent home?
For what it's worth, the Fish disk listings, which are the bulk
of the posting, are described better in note 12xx.*, titled something
like "Fish Disks 1-Latest."
