+DESCRIPTION
+
+     It is often useful to collect all the files in a directory  into  one  or
+     more  archives  for  transmission by mail.  This program collects all the
+     files in the source directory (default: current directory) and puts  them
+     into  a shar archive.  The shar archive is then compressed and uuencoded.
+     An attempt is made to have the final .uue file be about  the  given  size
+     (default: 60K), but since gather cannot really predict how much shar will
+     add to the file, how much compress will reduce the file, and how much uue
+     will  add  again, the sizes can fluctuate.  If the -f file flag is given,
+     the archives will be given the names file_00.uue, file_01.uue etc.  If -f
+     is  not given, the name of the source directory is used as the base name.
+     Since 7 characters of suffix are  appended,  the  base  name  should  not
+     exceed 7 characters.
