makeshar - shell archive shell script

[dave]

Here is a copy of my shell archive creation script.
Please, no flames about this kind of thing being posted
before;  I`m sure it has, but in the couple of months
I`ve been reading the news, I haven`t seen anything.

In any event it is pretty short.

To run it just type 'sh makeshar files... > output.shar'.
