How to make 'shar' files?

[Cliff Joslyn]

I've unpacked them all the time, but how do I make one?  I presume there
are a variety of different scripts that make these things (it's not that
tough), but what are they called?  Is there a standard name?  We run
Ultrix here at Binghamton, is it called something else there?  etc. . .

Actually, if it's a script, I'd appreciate getting one to run under MKS
Korn shell. . .

Thanks in advance. . .
