2.1.6 xmit-defenses options
---------------------------

Protecting against transmission issues.

no-character-count option.
..........................

This is the "do not use `wc -c' to check size" option.  Do NOT check
each file with 'wc -c' after unpack.  The default is to check.

no-md5-digest option (-D).
..........................

This is the "do not use `md5sum' digest to verify" option.  Do _not_
use `md5sum' digest to verify the unpacked files.  The default is to
check.

force-prefix option (-F).
.........................

This is the "apply the prefix character on every line" option.  Forces
the prefix character to be prepended to every line, even if not
required.  This option may slightly increase the size of the archive,
especially if `--uuencode' or a compression option is used.

here-delimiter option (-d).
...........................

This is the "use delim to delimit the files" option.  This option takes
a string argument `DELIM'.  Use DELIM to delimit the files in the shar
instead of SHAR_EOF.  This is for those who want to personalize their
shar files.  The delimiter will always be prefixed and suffixed with
underscores.
