---------------------------------------------------------------------Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : sharutils
Version     : 4.2.1
Release     : 22.2.FC3
Summary     : The GNU shar utilities for packaging and unpackaging shell 
archives.
Description :
The sharutils package contains the GNU shar utilities, a set of tools
for encoding and decoding packages of files (in binary or text format)
in a special plain text format called shell archives (shar).  This
format can be sent through e-mail (which can be problematic for regular
binary files).  The shar utility supports a wide range of capabilities
(compressing, uuencoding, splitting long files for multi-part
mailings, providing checksums), which make it very flexible at
creating shar files.  After the files have been sent, the unshar tool
scans mail messages looking for shar files.  Unshar automatically
strips off mail headers and introductory text and then unpacks the
shar files.

Install sharutils if you send binary files through e-mail.

Updated package.

Summary

The sharutils package contains the GNU shar utilities, a set of tools

for encoding and decoding packages of files (in binary or text format)

in a special plain text format called shell archives (shar). This

format can be sent through e-mail (which can be problematic for regular

binary files). The shar utility supports a wide range of capabilities

(compressing, uuencoding, splitting long files for multi-part

mailings, providing checksums), which make it very flexible at

creating shar files. After the files have been sent, the unshar tool

scans mail messages looking for shar files. Unshar automatically

strips off mail headers and introductory text and then unpacks the

shar files.

Install sharutils if you send binary files through e-mail.
