20.SH DESCRIPTION
21.PP
22The named files are collected together into a shell archive written onto
23standard output.
24The individual files can be extracted by redirecting the shell archive into
25the shell.
26The advantage of
27.I shar
28over
29.I ar
30is that \fIshar\fP archives can be read on almost any
31\s-2UNIX\s+2
32system, whereas numerous, incompatible versions of
33.I ar
34are in widespread use.
35Extracting the files from a shell archive requires that
36.I sed
37be accessible.
