Not so, quite a while ago I had the same question since I was doing
some porting of *nix sources to the mac. Anyway, when I posted to the
net asking if someone had already hacked unshar to work on the mac,
someone at Applewas nice enough to send me the sources. unshar compiled
easily under THINK C 4.0 and LsC 3.0. I would be happy to forward them
to those that ask, or, if the demand is high enough, to post them.
