NAME
       manifake - creates a MANIFEST.new out of a MANIFEST file

SYNOPSIS
       manifake

DESCRIPTION
       Manifake is a real simpleminded program that takes a MANIFEST file, such as one produced by a shar program, and creates a MANIFEST.new file
       ready to be used by all the dist programs. What it does is that all archive numbers are removed and the optional leading comments up  to  a
       dashed-line are thrown away.

       Manifake will typically be used when converting an existing package to use metaconfig or any other dist utility.
