longDescription =
'' 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.
GNU unshar scans a set of mail messages looking for the start of
shell archives. It will automatically strip off the mail headers
and other introductory text. The archive bodies are then unpacked
by a copy of the shell. unshar may also process files containing
concatenated shell archives.
