From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
sharchive /shar'ki:v/ n. [Unix and Usenet; from /bin/sh archive] A {flatten}ed representation of a set of one or more files, with the unique property that it can be unflattened (the original files restored) by feeding it through a standard Unix shell; thus, a sharchive can be distributed to anyone running Unix, and no special unpacking software is required. Sharchives are also intriguing in that they are typically created by shell scripts; the script that produces sharchives is thus a script which produces self-unpacking scripts, which may themselves contain scripts. (The downsides of sharchives are that they are an ideal venue for {Trojan horse} attacks and that, for recipients not running Unix, no simple un-sharchiving program is possible; sharchives can and do make use of arbitrarily-powerful shell features.) Sharchives are also commonly referred to as `shar files' after the name of the most common program for generating them.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
source of all good bits n. A person from whom (or a place from which) useful information may be obtained. If you need to know about a program, a {guru} might be the source of all good bits. The title is often applied to a particularly competent secretary.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
search problem A computational problem that requires identifying a solution from some, possibly infinite, solution {space} (set of possible solutions). E.g. "What is the millionth {prime number}?". This contrasts with a {decision problem} which merely asks whether a given answer is a solution or not. (1999-02-15)
