Please DON'T!!!

Actually, the MINIX-Community is trying to switch to shell-archives that
use SED instead of GRES. So just wait a while and don't encourage the people
using gres to continue doing so. A sed.c and a new shar.c were posted
by ast and should be available to all Minix users.

To unshar current shars, just replace those
	gres '^X'' (or so)

by 
        sed "s/^X//"

(can be done by sed also, I think)

and you can unshar 99% of the Minix files on your machine.

Try it.

Martin
