I've read the manual. If I pass a directory to shar: shar foo > foo.shar Results in a shar file. Problem is that when I unpack it I just end up with= an=20 empty directory. I probably need to pass it a flag or something, but I'm no= t=20 sure which one to use. How do I make a shar file out of a directory and ALL it's contents.
