%%name: sharutils

%%short-description: Creates and helps unpack shell archives.

%%full-description: Sharutils consists of two shell archiving
utilities: "shar" and "unshar."

"shar" makes shell archives out of many files and preps them for
transmission by email. A shell archive is a collection of files that
can be unpacked by /bin/sh.  Among other things, the program can
compress files, uuencode binary files, split long files and construct
multi-part mailings, ensure correct unsharing order, and provide
simplistic checksums.

"unshar" scans mail archives, looks for the start of shell
archives, and automatically strips off headers and other introductory
text. The bodies of the messages are then unpacked by a copy of the
shell; the program may also process files containing linked shell archives.
