2004/11/02 shar

I've removed advertising from most of this site and will eventually clean up the few pages where it remains.

While not terribly expensive to maintain, this does cost me something. If I don't get enough donations to cover that expense, I will be shutting the site down in early 2020.

If you found something useful today, please consider a small donation.

Shell Archiver. If you have ever read Kernigan and Pike's classic Unix Programming Environment Handbook, you may remember the "bundle" script presented there. "shar" is a grown-up, steroid enhanced version of that. It's a quick, simple way to package up a group of files into a self extracting format. It is part of the GNU sharutils.
