Hi,

make a cd to the directory where you want to unshar the (patch)file and:

# sh filename

hi,

see also "man shar"


..
The shar command bundles the named files and directories into a single distribution package suitable for mailing or moving. The files can contain any data, including executables. The resulting package, written to standard output, is a shell script file that can be edited (to add messages at the beginning, etc.).

To unpack package, use the sh command with the package name as an argument as follows:

sh package
...

hai chetana,

copy your file which you want to unshar to a desired directory, and exicute the following comand;

# sh

After unsharing you will get the .depot file and txt file. The .depot file you can use for installation along with swinstall command.

Best wishes,

Vinu

No need to copy, you can move. And in any case, you must be in the directory, unless absolute paths were used to create the shar file.
