| It's been awhile since I had to deal with Shared files.(since we lost
the Sys.Amiga usenet link). However from what I can remember
1) you have to convert any binary files to text format using UUE
2) then you can Shar that file using shar,or simply cut it up in
an editor,and then put it back together on the amiga,and decode it with
UUD. Now I think all Shar does is puts several files in a text format
that allows you to mail it to another site over usenet. At that point
you unshar it and decode it as necessary. Shar will increase your file
size. I think you are better off making several smaller arced(whatever)
files to bring down. If you have a very large binary file convert it
to text shar it,and then cut cut it into several chuncks.(maybe Shar
will do this for you) I know that any of the older users on the net are
still accessing usenet,and can probably give you the exact info you
need.

| Re .0:
How'd you get 1450 blocks on a MessyDos disk? All I could make fit
was 1425. Some special switch on the FORMAT command?

| Hi,
re -.1
1450 is variable. From what I can see, the figure can vary from disk to
disk. (Could it be marking sectors as bad and avoiding them?) The
largest archive I got on a disk was 1448 so I assumed that 1450 was the
limit. (I couldn't find a 2 block file to try this out :-)
Dave.
