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.
