Summary: Shar files

There have been several "shar" (shell archive) programs posted to the
net, which are available from the comp.sources.unix archives.

Unfortunately, several recent postings from comp.sources.unix have
been packed with a shar program that puts
	PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb ; export PATH
into the shar.  Now, /usr/ucb does not exist on my machine,
		(I use REAL UNIX\*(tm :-), not that Berkeley stuff.)
and it's kind of annoying to have it there.  I wouldn't mind
	PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:$PATH ; export PATH
- it accomplishes the desired effect, and it's much more portable.
It may be that the $PATH on my machine is /ramdisk/bin:/nfs/foo/bin,
and I don't want to lose that.  Did this come from some standard shar
program?
