This is a repost of a shell script that will solve the problem if every
shar'ed source has a line beginning with # at the top of the archive.

#! /bin/sh
# unshar - pipe shar part of input through sh
# Ignore lines before first "#" comment starting in first column.
# Input is either $1 or stdin.
sed -n '/^#/,$ p' ${1-} | exec sh
