- Shell archive utils and uuencode/decode.
- .description
- `shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing
- them for transmission by electronic mail services. `unshar' 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.
-
- `uuencode' prepares a file for transmission over an electronic
- channel which ignores or otherwise mangles the eight bit (high
- order bit) of bytes. `uudecode' does the converse transformation.
- They are derived from the BSD NET/2 distribution. If you have more
- powerful `uuencode' and `uudecode' already available, you may want
- to use `./configure --disable-uucode' to prevent their installation.
