par - create a Perl archive of files
par [-s submitter] [-STBqvz] file [files...]
par creates a Perl archive of the files on the command line. The Perl archive is a Perl script, and executing it will recreate the files. If any of the files include a path, directories in that path will also be recreated. If any of the files is a directory, the contents of that directory will be archived.
par automatically determines if files are text or binary unless -B or -T is used.
find . -name 'chapter[1-9].txt' -print | par -S > story.par
Renaming or linking par to shar
will cause it to create shell scripts:
ln par shar
shar moogle.txt > moogle.shar
shar, unpar, uuencode
