NAME
       bundle - collect files for distribution

SYNOPSIS
       bundle file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Bundle  writes  on  its	standard  output a shell script for rc(1) or a
       Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate	 the  original	files.
       Its  main  use  is  for	distributing  small  numbers  of text files by
       mail(1).

       Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1)	or  tar(1),  a
       bundle  file  is	 self-documenting  and complete; little preparation is
       required on the receiving machine.

EXAMPLES
       bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris
	      Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files.	  Upon
	      receiving	 the  mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say
	      in gift/horse, then do

       cd gift; rc horse; mk

SOURCE
       /rc/bin/bundle

SEE ALSO
       ar(1), tar(1), mail(1)

BUGS
       Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory	 for  non-text
       files.

       Beware of gift horses.
