PLEASE!!!!!  If you don't know the answer, don't make wild assumptions!

Yes, you will most likely need uudecode (if you want binaries) too.
I hope you captured them to your computer rather than a terminal.
There are 2 unshar programs that I know of for the amiga, one that created
and extracted these archives, and the other that just extracts.
These programs have been out over a year, one is on fish #92.  The one I use
now just extracts whereas the one on disk 92 creates them too.  Use a larger
than normal stack on these programs (I use 20K with no problems.)
