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

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

> 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 email very often.
