35 .Nd create a shell archive of files
44 shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file

58 To create a shell archive of the program
61 .Bd -literal -offset indent
63 shar `find . -print` \&| mail -s "ls source" rick
66 To recreate the program directory:

88 command makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing
92 command cannot handle files without a newline ('\\n')
93 as the last character.
95 It is easy to insert trojan horses into
98 It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined
99 before running them through
101 Archives produced using this implementation of
