A MicroEMACS macro for splitting shell archives (shar files) has lately
been posted to comp.sources.misc. It has some advantages for users of
systems which have different filename conventions than the system the shell
archive originated on. The files are put into buffers, to be saved as the
user pleases.
The macro works on most recent shars that were generated automatically, and
is appropriate for 3.9 generations of MicroEMACS. The changes needed for
SOME of the shars it doesn't unpack are fairly obvious (but specialized for
each case). I understand that the release of MicroEMACS 3.10, which will
remove the need for some of the peculiarities of the macro, is imminent.
