I have a system with a less than wonderful bourne shell, but it's all
I've got.  When I try to unpack shar'd files, it trips over this line:

cat > $file << '_END_OF_FILE_'

The problem appears to hinge on the '<<', with my shell complaining:

line 12: Invalid redirection

Are there any shars out there that do not utilize '<<', or is this a
granite cornerstone of all shars?

Appreciative of any help...
