The docs originally said about this program
"Unshar is a utility which extracts files from the ubiquitous
Unix shar archives. It has the following advantages over
existing unshar utilities:
- Small and fast
- Handles many cat and sed formats
- Allows extraction of subdirectories
- Understands ./file type filenames
- Understands file continuation with >>
- Sorts file list by Subject: line
- Exits cleanly with CTRL-C"
This is a port for powerUP (TM) PPC systems.
PPC binary is called "unshar.elf" and useable from Shell
when being used with ppc.library V46+
For changes (basically only smakefile + SCOPTIONS had to be
added) see the file "changes.powerup" in the "src" directory.
The program itself does seem to work fine - successfully has
been tested on "mcvert-216.shar" (which BTW is available as
PPC port, too).

Note:
In the past, some guy called "SPH" took most of my free PPC ports
(those where the sources have been included) and ported them to WOS.
While I've nothing against WOS ports, an other point is very distasteful
and unfair in my opinion: removing all references to my name and initials
and simply replacing those with his own, while also removing all references
to PPC-Lib/ELF and replacing those with WOS references and usually some flames
or even offenses against the competing kernel and porter - without actually
rewriting the readme text itself in a major way (for example, if I describe what
*I* specifically did for the port - and what he didn't have to do a *second* time,
of course - he does not even remove/change *those* notes and/or give me credit).
This leads to the strange situation, that I hereby have to copyright this
.readme text, to claim its authorship and forbid changes which aren't
clearly marked as being changes to the original: While quotes may have
been derived from other parts of the distribution, the whole .readme as
such now is (C)opyrighted by Andreas R. Kleinert in 1998.
Copyrights to the other files remain as such. Nevertheless I'd ask anyone
to give me credit for the changes which I did myself and which of
course have been labeled/marked/documented as such. Even free software
lives from respecting the intellectual work and property of others. Thank you.
