Stan, dylan, Karl & several others,
I'm really sorry/annoyed about this. It seems MindLink uses the
backslash character (ascii $5c) as an escape character, ie. it eats
backslashes & sometimes the next character if it fits one of MindLink's
commands. This plays all hell with uuencoded files...
---Attempt zero---
Let BS = BackSlash
There are 15 backslashes in pacd.sh, but only lines 2 & 9 seem to be
corrupted (as well as the header).
>sed 's/^XX//' << HAR_EOF > pacd4.zuu -HDR

^
BSR9$,!
Now when these lines get to you they will be corrupted by the ML editor
again. Where you see the ^ char below with BS below, insert one
backslash. The other characters are the same.
---Attempt one---
My other alternative, is to try to trick the ML editor here by
substituting BSBS for BS. ;-) How do these lines look?
sed 's/^XX//' << \SHAR_EOF > pacd4.zuu -HDR
XXM_0(!F`,``'$```!D%(MUF,\\!```)P,```$```````````!004-$-`"3F@``/ -L2

Hopefully, now one way or the other, you will be able to reconstruct a
valid .sh file. The ironic side is that PACD is a really simple little
program. Open expansion.lib & do FindConfigDev until done.
As for the double XXs, I'm not sure why that happened. I am using a
Dave Wecker Shar (12388 bytes). It unshared on my system, so I didn't
worry about it.
