The "shar" (shell archive) script in this folder will create:

      *******************************************************
      *                                                     *
      *           SELF-EXTRACTING DOS BATCH FILES.          *
      *                                                     *
      *******************************************************

The batch files created by this script should (should!) be able 
to run on any system that contains the "debug" command. This 
includes DOS6 all the way through to Windows XP. 

Batch files created by this script will be approximately five 
times larger than the original file. The batch files will 
have a maximum line length of 75 bytes, making it possible to 
copy and paste the batch text directly into the body of an 
email. The person on the receiving end would copy and paste 
the batch text back into a batch file to retrieve the original 
file.

NOTE: Due to a DEBUG limitation, you can only archive files 
whose original size is less than 64KB in size!

All three files contain the same code. Download the most convenient one.

Downloading Notes: 

VBS FILE
IE may try to run the VBS file instead of downloading it! You'll 
have to right-click and select "Save Link" or "Save Target" to save 
the file to your hard drive. 

TXT FILE
Be sure to save the downloaded file with a VBS file extension. If your 
Windows has the default behavior of hiding file extensions, you will 
have to quote the file name. For example, don't save it as test.vbs, 
but as "test.vbs". Using quotes forces Windows to honor your file 
extension.

ZIP FILE
No problems. The zip file may (or may not) contain other information 
or directions.
