Attached are the sources for a simple utility for packaging up
arbitrary directories of ascii files for distribution over serial
lines (like cu or uucp) such that they can be reconstructed at the
receiving end with a 'universal dearchiver', the UNIX V7 shell.
This was written to assist in file transfers between different flavors
of UNIX, such as VAX to ONYX, ALTOS and Perkin-Elmer, etc, where one
can't assume much about the capabilities of the receiving end except
that it has a V7 shell. It also helps for moving files to non-UNIX
systems, in that the 'control information' (various mkdir and tee
commands) can be edited at the receiving end to drive their idea of a
command interpreter.
If other developers share my habit of maintaining every source program
in its own directory area along with a collection of makefiles, test
data, modification histories, etc, this utility encourages the habit
of routinely distributing every file of possible relevance to an
installer. The only things left behind are binaries...
To install, put the following into someFile and run 'sh -x someFile'

NAME
pk - package directory (for export via cu or remote)
SYNOPSIS
pk directory ...
DESCRIPTION
When directories must be moved via cu or remote (or other
means that don't allow a full 8 bit data path, which would
allow the use of tar packaging), this program can help.
It produces a shell script on stdout that includes mkdir
commands to reconstruct the directory heirarchy and cat com-
mands (with the body of files as shell 'here' documents) to
move the files.
Only ascii files and directories can be dealt with this way;
pk uses file(1) to discard others.
SEE ALSO
file(1), cat(1), tar(1), sh(1), cat(1), cu(1), remote(1)
