In article <18142@lanl.ARPA> dlc@lanl.ARPA warns people not to use shar
format because the source can get munged due to sh interpretation.
If you do it right, this will never happen.  The proper way is to quote
the sh's "here documents" (whazzat, you say).  Examples:

This works, keeping $ signs and such intact:
	sed 's/^X//' >foo << 'FUNNYEOF'
...
FUNNYEOF
So does this:
	sed 's/^X//' >foo << \FUNNYEOF
This does not:	
	sed 's/^X//' >foo << FUNNYEOF

This is actually documented in sh(1).  Also, you must run these thru sh,
not csh.  So please keep using shar format.
