: Here's a shell script that will create a shell script
# for creating shell scripts that will recreate files (whew!).
# That is, run this file under sh to create a shell script
# called mkarc. This file can be used on text files and
# directories to create a shell script that can be mailed
# or posted on the net. That shell script will then
# recreate the argument files, directories and constituent
# files. Of course it won't work for data files or
# object code (use uuencode). The output is similar to
# that used in net.news.map. The following was produced
# by running 'mkarc mkarc'.
echo mkarc
sed 's/^ //' > mkarc << 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'
: mkarc file ...
# Makes a shell script which, when executed, will
# recreate the argument files and directories.
# Recursively includes all directory contents.
