In an earlier article there appeared

	# Eat this, line-eater!

followed by the lines of a shar file.

Please DON'T begin postings with a line that begins like this

first character in a line to signify the beginning of the actual
shar (#!/bin/sh).

Other than that, thank you, anonymous contributor, for the program.
