NAME
       shar - shell archiver

SYNOPSIS
       shar file ...

EXAMPLES
       shar *.c >s	   # Collect C programs in shell archive

       sh <s		   # Extract files from a shell archive

DESCRIPTION
       The  named  files are collected together into a shell archive written onto standard output.  The individual files can be extracted by redi-
       recting the shell archive into the shell.  The advantage of shar over ar is that shar archives can be  read  on	almost	any  UNIX  system,
       whereas numerous, incompatible versions of ar are in widespread use.  Extracting the files from a shell archive requires that sed be acces-
       sible.
