Hi all you unsharers out there,

Messy-Dos users should be aware of Rick Salz' cshar.  As far back as version
1.0 of this program, Rick included sufficient code to produce an sh (called
shell) capable to sharing and unsharing standard archives.  I understand 
that there is a new version available with enhanced capabilities from
archiving sites ( Rats! I missed the posting.).  This fine program works
well under UNIX and under MessyDos, when compiled for that environment.

One caveat, I can't remember whether I had to come up with my own "wc"", "sum",
or "chmod" clones but I think not.  Do have a look, I've been using this
package since April '87, hence the foggy recollections.  Compilation
was under MSC 4.0.  I assume moving it to MSC 5.x and TurboC will be no
big deal.

You can usually find Rick's postings in comp.sources.unix so that's the
place to search in the archives.

Good Luck,
ger
