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.
