Bad parts for Joe 1.0.5, not on world.std.com yet

When I tried to unshar the 10 part release of joe 1.0.5, it had unexpected
EOFs and all sorts of files of the wrong length, shar parts that were
reported as looking like C code.  Has anyone else had problems?

Its not a bug, its a feature (I assume)

You have to save all parts into one large file and manually get rid of
the headers of the messages. 

Sadly Mr. Allen did not know about the -L option of shar but instead used
split to divide the files :-((((

Obviously he should read the FAQs about "How to post".

After the tedious editing I only got one "wrong size" error which was a
not removed Line Feed.

On the other side, "joe" is a very good editor, if you can get it to run
(gcc 2.3.1 woes at main.c and you have to rearrange an array definition).
