    longDescription = ''
      GNU shar makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing
              them for transmission by electronic mail services.  A shell archive
              is a collection of files that can be unpacked by /bin/sh.  A wide
              range of features provide extensive flexibility in manufacturing
              shars and in specifying shar smartness.  For example, shar may
              compress files, uuencode binary files, split long files and
              construct multi-part mailings, ensure correct unsharing order, and
              provide simplistic checksums.

              GNU unshar scans a set of mail messages looking for the start of
              shell archives.  It will automatically strip off the mail headers
              and other introductory text.  The archive bodies are then unpacked
              by a copy of the shell. unshar may also process files containing
              concatenated shell archives.
