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

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.

       MANIFEST            Original manifest produced by some shar program
       MANIFEST.new        Faked manifest file, suitable for use by any dist programs.
