Could you maybe keep the example as it is now, and add a second example using shar ?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Currently there is one example of how to do a diff, and one on how to do a shar, I've removed the shar example, as well as references to .shar files.

Keep the shar example, but de-emphasize it and put it at the bottom, as suggested by @mat .

Could this be changed to use bsdtar, it feels "safer" than shar, something like:

&prompt.user; <userinput>tar cf <replaceable>oneko</replaceable>.shar --format shar <replaceable>oneko</replaceable></userinput></screen>
