+Although less refined than standard archives from
+.I 9ar
+(see
+.IR 9c (1))
+or
+.IR tar (1),
+a
+.IR bundle
+file
+is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is required on
+the receiving machine.

+.TP
+.L
+bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris
+Send a makefile to Boris together with related
+.L .c
+and
