Are there any unshar utility for windows?

From time to time I need to extract the contents of a shar file.

And I need to wait to have access to a *nix box to obtain the files. And I was wondering if there is a unshar utility for windows.

I can install the cygwin package but I think that is to much for only extract files from time to time.

Solution

  • Maybe there are any unshar utils because is like to make a shell interpreter.

    but I solved my problem writing a little perl script that extracts the files using the cat or sed pattern and ignoring everything else.
