-This is the set of GNU shar utilities.
+This is the set of GNU shar utilities. This port installs them
+with the letter "g" prepended to their names, to avoid conflict
+with the FreeBSD base system. The uudecode and uuencode commands
+are omitted (BSD versions are present in the base system). The
+shar utilities deal with shar files, so-called shell archives, which
+are scripts suitable for transmission by e-mail or Usenet.
-`shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing
-them for transmission by electronic mail services. `unshar' helps
-unpacking shell archives after reception. The core of both programs
-is initially derived from public domain. Some modules and other
-code sections are freely borrowed from other GNU distributions,
-bringing `shar' under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
+When a shar file is executed, the files it contains are unpacked
+without the need for any software other than the shell itself and
+sed. Because they are scripts, shell archives from strangers should
+be read before executing them, to check for harmful commands.
