     Somewhere along the line, yes, the tabs got converted to
spaces.  I tried killing off a bunch of spaces early on in the
section that got the error, but I got the same error at the same
point so I didn't think that it was helping.  I'll go back
and try killing all the spaces and see if it makes any difference.

     That's definitely a posibility in this circumstance.  I'll
check that out too.

     Yup.  It shouldn't affect many people though.  I think we were the
only ones missing a 'varargs.h'.

     Huh?  What tabs converter?  I think I missed it.



     By the way.  I have found that your 'unshar' and Wecker's 'shar'
overlap but are not mutually redundant for unsharing files.  Wecker's
'shar -u' failed to unshar one of the Micro GNU EMACS postings (with
subdirectories), while it was able to unshar Oz's 'proff.c' distribution
which your 'unshar' failed.  So it seems that although there is some
overlap, they are both useful to keep for the time being.
