	It is all very well and good discussing the niceties of comments,
lack of headers etc in shar files, but I have a slightly more general flame.
I have recently moved to a vax running sysV r2.0, lucky me you might say.
Now this is all very well and good, BUT, what happens when I save Joe Bloggs
magic program from net.sources, come to extract it and find those magic words
"extract with csh not sh" ?
	If we are going to have shar files of use to all members of the net
then stop using csh. Everyone has got sh so here's a big vote for using it.
