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.
