I appoligize if this subject has been beaten to death in c.s.d, 
if so hit 'n' and please don't hate me :-)

I am looking for a version of shar that basically does everything.
Primarily I would like it to be able to break up the archive it
creates into parts which are not greater than n kilobytes, be able
to check and see if a file has control characters in it and uuencode
if so, and I would like it to create archives that when unsharing
will keep track of which parts have been unsharred and list the ones
that still need to be unshared.

I have got ahold of cshar, from comp.sources.unix, and as far as I
can tell, it can't do the uuencoding part.

I also have a program which seems to be called 'shar2' which can 
check for necessary uuencoding etc, but (please don't laugh too hard :-)
I have only the binaries and not the original source.

If anyone has any info, please mail to me, or if you feel it worthwhile
post it.   

Thanks for your help!
