Several people have asked me for the recently re-posted "shellext"
package by Wolgang Rupprecht.  I've tried to reply to all requests and
verify that they really want me to send it anyway.

In my message I said I'd gladly send it to anyone who could give me an
adequate address or uunet-based path.  Unfortunately, not everyone
requesting the package did that, so I wasn't able to reach them.

ATTENTION: Just because you can send a mail message to somebody on the
Internet, there is no guarantee that they'll be able to reply.
Remember, not every system has exactly the same host table.  Another
problem is that local hosts are often not known outside of the local
area.  So when you want to be sure that the recipient of your message
can reply, include in the body of the message (because mailers tend to
fiddle around with addresses in headers) a return address that you are
sure is reachable from a host with the standard Internet host table.
When in doubt, include several variations in case one fails.

So, if you still want a copy of "shellext", I'll be happy to send it
to you, provided you give me an adequate return address and mention
that you're aware it was recently reposted.
