+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBarlatex\fR is an archiving program like \fBshar\fR, \fBtar\fR, \fBzip\fR, etc.
+Unlike those other archivers, however, \fBarlatex\fR is designed
+specifically for use with LaTeX. \fBarlatex\fR takes the name of a
+master \fI.tex\fR file and a number of ancillary files used by that
+master file (e.g., \fI.tex\fR, \fI.sty\fR, \fI.cls\fR, and \fI.eps\fR files).
+From these, \fBarlatex\fR outputs a single file that, when it's run
+through \fBlatex\fR, both regenerates the ancillary files and compiles
+the document into a \fI.dvi\fR file.
+.PP
+\&\fBarlatex\fR has a few advantages over other archiving programs:
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+The \fI.tex\fR files produced by \fBarlatex\fR are in a plain-text format.
+They are therefore perfectly portable and trivial to e\-mail to
+colleagues.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\fBarlatex\fR needs only LaTeX to run. There is no dependence on any
+external tools.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+There is no explicit extraction step. As the generated document is
+run through \fBlatex\fR, it extracts the ancillary files and builds the
+document in the same step. The user running \fBlatex\fR may not even
+notice that additional files are being produced.
+.PP
+\&\fBarlatex\fR works by writing a number of \f(CW\*(C`\ebegin{filecontents*}\*(C'\fR\ ...
+\&\f(CW\*(C`\eend{filecontents*}\*(C'\fR blocks to the output file, followed by the
+contents of the master file. (In fact, any LaTeX comments at the
+beginning of the master file are hoisted to the top of the generated
+file. This enables the author to draw attention, if so desired, to
+the fact that ancillary files will be generated.) The
+\&\f(CW\*(C`filecontents*\*(C'\fR environment, part of standard LaTeX2e, writes its
+contents verbatim to a specified file.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--version"
+Output the \fBarlatex\fR script's version number.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--help"
+Output brief \fBarlatex\fR usage information.
+.IP "\fB\-\-document\fR=\fI.tex file\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--document=.tex file"
+Specify the master document. The output from \fBarlatex\fR is this file
+with all of the other files named on the command line prepended to it.
+Note that \f(CW\*(C`\-\-document\*(C'\fR is a \fImandatory\fR parameter; \fBarlatex\fR will
+abort with an error message if \f(CW\*(C`\-\-document\*(C'\fR is not specified.
+.IP "\fB\-\-outfile\fR=\fI.tex file\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--outfile=.tex file"
+Specify the output file. The output file looks just like the master
+document, but with a number of \f(CW\*(C`filecontents*\*(C'\fR environments preceding
+the \f(CW\*(C`\edocumentclass\*(C'\fR line. If \f(CW\*(C`\-\-outfile\*(C'\fR is not specified, output
+will be written to the standard output device.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
+Suppose you have a paper called \fIpaper.tex\fR that loads a custom
+package with \f(CW\*(C`\eusepackage{mypackage}\*(C'\fR. You want to submit the paper
+to a conference, but you want to be absolutely certain that
+\&\fImypackage.sty\fR doesn't get lost as your paper is shuttled from
+person to person. Here's how \fBarlatex\fR can be of use:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& arlatex \-\-document=paper.tex mypackage.sty \-\-outfile=paper\-submit.tex
+.Ve
+.PP
+When \fIpaper\-submit.tex\fR is processed with \fBlatex\fR, it builds just
+like the original \fIpaper.tex\fR, except that it additionally creates a
+\&\fImypackage.sty\fR in the current directory:
+.PP
+.Vb 5
+\& This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
+\& (paper\-submit.tex
+\& LaTeX2e <1999/12/01> patch level 1
+\& Babel <v3.6Z> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german,
+\& ngerman, italian, nohyphenation, loaded.
+\&
+\& LaTeX Warning: Writing file \`./mypackage.sty\*(Aq.
+\&
+\& (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls
+\& Document Class: article 1999/09/10 v1.4a Standard LaTeX document class
+\& (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/size12.clo)) (mypackage.sty)
+\& .
+\& .
+\& .
+.Ve
+.PP
+As another example, here's how you could bundle together all of the
+files needed to build a large document for longevity:
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& arlatex \-\-document=thesis.tex abstract.tex introduction.tex
+\& background.tex approach.tex experiments.tex relatedwork.tex
+\& conclusions.tex before.eps after.eps fast.eps slow.eps
+\& podunkUthesis.cls \-\-outfile=thesis\-all.tex
+.Ve
+.PP
+As the number of files to archive together increases it becomes more
+cumbersome to run \fBarlatex\fR manually. Fortunately, using \fBarlatex\fR
+with \fBbundledoc\fR is straightforward. \fBbundledoc\fR finds all of the
+files needed to build the document, and \fBarlatex\fR combines them into
+a single file. The following are examples of the \f(CW\*(C`bundle:\*(C'\fR line you
+might use in a \fBbundledoc\fR configuration file:
+.IP "Unix:" 1
+.IX Item "Unix:"
+.Vb 2
+\& bundle: (arlatex \-\-document=$BDBASE.tex $BDINPUTS \e
+\& \-\-outfile=$BDBASE\-all.tex)
+.Ve
+.IP "Windows:" 1
+.IX Item "Windows:"
+.Vb 2
+\& bundle: arlatex \-\-document=%BDBASE%.tex %BDINPUTS% \e
+\& \-\-outfile=%BDBASE%\-all.tex
+.Ve
+.PP
+See the \fBbundledoc\fR documentation for more information.
+.SH "CAVEATS"
+.IX Header "CAVEATS"
+\&\fBarlatex\fR makes use of LaTeX2e's \f(CW\*(C`filecontents*\*(C'\fR environment.
+\&\f(CW\*(C`filecontents*\*(C'\fR refuses to overwrite an existing file. However, it
+also refuses to create a file that exists \fIanywhere\fR that LaTeX can
+find it. That is, if the user running \fBlatex\fR on an
+\&\fBarlatex\fR\-generated \fI.tex\fR file already has a
+\&\fI/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/whatever/whatever.sty\fR file then
+\&\f(CW\*(C`filecontents*\*(C'\fR will refuse to create a \fIwhatever.sty\fR file, even in
+a different directory.
