- And here is my patch to Randal's program to allow unpacking more than
- one file at a time. Very handy when, say from nn, you pipe all parts of
- 10 binaries through uumerge (the parts have to be in the right order, but
- for me they usually are).

- Ooof! Ooof! The *least* you could've done with that patch is
- *remove* my name from the author comments.

- Gasp. A "goto". Eeek.
-
- Anyway, *don't* distribute that version with my name on it. I have
- the remains of a reputation to protect. :-)
-
- Maybe Larry will just finally remove goto's from Perl 5.0. That'll fix
- the lot of 'ya. :-)
