Actually, it's just plain more-than-one-file, program, data, or index.
It was supposed to do it all along but I had requested (about a year
ago) that people ask for one file per message so that code was never
exercised.

Argggh. I do have an ushar for DOS but have never posted it. I see
Foteos just sent one out so it will go on the server immediately. I
still need one for Macintoshes.

The error messages shouldn't interfere with the extraction of the
files, though. If they do, please let me know.

Thanks for letting me know about this.

Ah, then I will go get it.

Good idea. I will do so, now that there is an UNSHAR for everything.
