Wanted: A copy of shar

[mikec at reed.UUCP]

When I posted the original article asking for someone's copy of shar, I had
no idea how many people wanted a copy.  Well, just in the past two days I
have gotten several versions as well as quite a few requests for copies. 
Rather than send each individual a copy.  I will post one shar program that
I recieved.  Unfortunetly, I hacked up the original letter he sent and
thus, I don't know the original author!  This appears to be the most
simplestic of the shar's I recieved and that is why I am posting it.  You
can make your own little changes as you like.

P.S. -- Would the original author please identify himself!
