I read the above and I don't know what problem you are having.  I
created a test case this way:

  mkdir /tmp/junk
  cd /tmp/junk
  mkdir foodir
  date -R > foodir/foofile
  shar -l1605632 -o WC.sh foodir
    shar: Saving foodir/foofile (text)
  less WC.sh.01
    ...looks okay by my eye...

What problem are you having?
