The "shar" command is a good way of sending multiple files
in a single mailing from one UNIX to another. 
I'm wondering if anyone has developed companion shar commands,
one UNIX-based and the other PC-DOS based, that can be used
to create a shar file on unix, download it to the pc,
then extract files onto the pc.
A converse use would be to create a shar archive on the PC,
upload to UNIX, then extract on unix.

An alternative method would be a version of cpio that runs on
the pc and, preferably, supports the -c (character) flag
to eliminate arbitrary binary bytes.  Anybody have that yet?
