BUNDLE(1)		     General Commands Manual		       BUNDLE(1)

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 9ar (see 9c((1))) or
     tar((1)), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete;	little	prepara-
     tion is required on the receiving machine.

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

     cd gift; sh horse; mk

SOURCE
     /bin/bundle

SEE ALSO
     9ar (in 9c(1)), tar(1), mail((1))

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

     Beware of gift horses.
