I have an Amiga version of unshar (and uuxcode). It not only will strip
all the X's and such, but it will also go looking for the
#!/bin/csh and stop at the exit, even if there is more than one
pair of these in the same file. I just use rn to concat all the
files of a particular posting together, kermit it down, and
run my unshar.  I can upload it to wherever (someone tell me where),
but since I almost certainly got it from usenet, it must already
be out there somewhere.            -- Darren
