In previous articles, the huddled masses cry out:
 "I am looking for a version of shar that basically does everything.
 "... break into parts ... uuencode .. keep track of which parts ..

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

Anyhow, the alpha test of "cshar3" is in alt.sources.  It slices, it
dices, it contains a ridiculous amount of code for such a simple job.
Please don't pass the alt.sources version around, wait for the real
one.  If you can't wait, go unpack what's there and find and fix bugs.

Actually, you shouldn't find many bugs in the alt.sources version, but
I do know that some things are not finished -- e.g., I have to write some
more words on uuencode and uudecode.  But enough of the rest is there
that folks should have no problems.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
