: files.Here is what I get confused by:
: #!/bin/sh
: #..
: #..
: # remove mail header and "sh" the resulting files in any order.
: # to unpack,sh this message in an empty directory.

: bigmail CUT HERE ....

: #..
: At end there is
: #define

: Could you please help me with this.
: Thank you for your help.

You need to, at the shell prompt, do this:

$ sh filename

Make sure all mail headers have been cut off, and that:

#!/bin/sh

is the first line of the file. Do this for every file you recieve.
