I, too, have found 'shar's which do not start with a '#' comment,
but have caught all of those so far by also checking for 'echo'
at the beginning of a line.  As for concatenated shars, I usually end
up with these in a mailbox, so I check for 'exit' or a good old Unix-style
'From ' line to terminate the current shar.  Works great.
