But.... you shouldn't distribute the .dvi.  If someone can print the dvi file
he probably can create it given the .tex file.  I would suggest including

raw text doc file - ain't pretty but it works.
.tex file	  - those who want to create and print the dvi file can

this makes the distribution smaller and is just as useful

And I also don't like source files in shar format for the st.  zoo the thing.
When I get the source, I un shar it, ark it, and include it with the binaries
that usually have just been posted to the binaries group.
