A good solution to unshar ANY sources is to grab the GNU cshar package
I posted to Piggy a long time ago.  Included is a very good 'unshar'
command that interprets shar files without resorting to the shell,
making the old Coherent-shell redirection bug impotent.  'Course,
this isn't a problem as much now that the bug is fixed, but it's
still a damn good package anyway.  If you can't get it from piggy,
get it from any GNU distribution.  I also sent cshar to mwcbbs a long
while back, but alas, they never posted it.
