	Hi.  I'm having some problems trying to run the shar program.  I have
some files in a directory that I want to put in a shell archive, so I cd to the
directory, then type "shar * > shar.file".  This produces a 5-minute wait, and
then a "write failed, disk full" error, as shar keeps writing the same stuff
over and over ad infinitum.  Anyone have any help for me?
