You should not need an 'unshar' utility; simply delete any lines in the
shar file before the line which is intended to be first (which is usually
a comment beginning with '#') and type
sh filename
This will, of course, assume that any commands which the shar file
contains (sed, touch, chmod, etc.) already exist on your system.
