+ SHORT="For making shell archives for transmission by email"
+cat << EOF
+GNU shar makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing
+them for transmission by electronic mail services. A shell archive is a
+collection of files that can be unpacked by /bin/sh. A wide range of
+features provide extensive flexibility in manufacturing shars and in
+specifying shar smartness. For example, shar may compress files,
+uuencode binary files, split long files and construct multi-part
+mailings, ensure correct unsharing order, and provide simplistic checksums.
+
+GNU unshar scans a set of mail messages looking for the start of shell
+archives. It will automatically strip off the mail headers and
+other introductory text. The archive bodies are then unpacked by a copy
+of the shell. unshar may also process files containing concatenated
+shell archives.
