GNU shar makes so-called shell archives out of many files,
preparing them for transmission by electronic mail services.
A shell archive is a collection of files that can be
unpacked by /bin/sh. A wide range of features provide
extensive flexibility in manufacturing shars and in
specifying shar smartness. For example, shar may compress
files, uuencode binary files, split long files and
construct multi-part mailings, ensure correct unsharing
order, and provide simplistic checksums.
