+.SH NAME
+bundle \- collect files for distribution
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B bundle
+.I file ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Bundle
+writes on its standard output a shell script for
+.IR sh (1)
+that, when executed,
+will recreate the original
+.IR files .
+Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by
+.IR mail (1).
+.PP
+Although less refined than standard archives from
+.IR ar (1),
+.IR cpio (1),
+or
+.IR tar (1),
+a
+.IR bundle
+file
+is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is required on
+the receiving machine.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.L
+bundle makefile *.[ch] | mail elsewhere!mark
+Send a makefile to Mark together with related
+.L .c
+and
+.L .h
+files.
+Upon receiving the mail, Mark may save the file sans postmark,
+say in
+.BR gift/horse ,
+then do
+.TP
+.L
+cd gift; sh horse; make
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.IR ar (1),
+.IR cpio (1),
+.IR tar (1),
+.IR mail (1)
+.SH BUGS
+.I Bundle
+will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-ASCII files.
+.br
+Beware of gift horses.
