Subject: [TUHS] shell comment chars
Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 16:33:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7D7C9DDB-1ED3-4BD3-98C1-BD81CB1BA334@quintile.net> (raw)


i started on the 7th edition on a perkin elmer (ne interdata) - this was v7 with some 2.1bsd sprinkled on top.

i remember the continual annoyance of unpacking shar files starting with hash comments : only on ed7. in the end i wrote a trivial sed to remove them called unshar.

i haven't thought of that for decades...
