I have the same problem.  I know that you're supposed to unshar them, but
I am having no luck doing this.  I transfered the files on FTP using bget.
The files look pretty screwy if you look at them, and I can't edit them
in any way like it says to in the latest "Intro to comp.sys.amiga" file.
Plus, these instructions assume you're on a unix system!  I'm on a VAX 8650.
Is there a version on unshar for VAX/VMS?
Did I do something wrong when I transferred the files over FTP to my local
VAX account?

Help!
