Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 11 An easy way to put comments at the head of a news article containing a shar archive is to put the comments in a README file and shar that file along with everything else, but first. This not only makes extracting the archive from the news article easier, but arranges for the comments to stay with the software. -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 USA jsq@ut-sally.ARPA, jsq@ut-sally.UUCP, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!jsq
