NAME

       manifake - creates a MANIFEST.new out of a MANIFEST file

SYNOPSIS

       manifake

DESCRIPTION

       Manifake  is  a  real  simpleminded  program  that  takes a MANIFEST file, such as one produced by a shar
       program, and creates a MANIFEST.new file ready to be used by all the dist programs. What it does is  that
       all archive numbers are removed and the optional leading comments up to a dashed-line are thrown away.

       Manifake  will  typically be used when converting an existing package to use metaconfig or any other dist
       utility.
