I've learned metric tons from watching everybody talk to each other on
this news group.  Thanks to all.
In conversation from time to time, I've seen the expression "SHAR file",
and also phrases like "I unshared it" and "most of the archive consisted
of shar files".
Pray tell, what is a SHAR file?
How do you find one?
How do you unshar one?
I couldn't find a man page on this. I'll be grateful for attention.
