unshar business

[Catherine Segedy]

Everyone is going crazy over the problem of running the maps through a shell
script, and all of the problems which that creates.  It took me 1/2 hour to
write (and test to my own satisfaction) a simple C program to do it instead.
It rejects EVERYTHING which is not in the format I expect.  (We get our map
updates regularly enought that it is not too important if a couple of maps
get thrown out here and there).

This took considerably less time than reading the huge volume of news that
has been generated on the subject.
