If your request is only for a copy of gres to run on BSD unix, I can't
help you but if your aim is to unshar a file that uses gres, I would
suggest that you use sed.  I alwas modify the gres command line to use sed.

If the gres command is

gres '^X' '' > README << '/'

change it to be either

sed 's/^X//' > README << '/'

or

sed '/^X/s///' > README << '/'

I posted this to the net because I have see several other questions about
unsharing without gres.
