Back to search · Project homepage

Description

This is the set of GNU shar utilities. `gshar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing them for transmission by electronic mail services. `gunshar' helps unpacking shell archives after reception. The core of both programs is initially derived from public domain. Some modules and other code sections are freely borrowed from other GNU distributions, bringing `shar' under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
