BUNDLE is a program that reads its standard input and writes it to
a named special file in [Bsize]-byte blocks.
When [Dsize] bytes have been written, bundle prompts for a new volume.

UNBUNDLE does the opposite, eg. prompts for volumes, reads them, and
writes to standard output.

These programs are designed to be used with programs like tar, that
produce a long stream of data, but don't know about volumes.
Usage: "tar something | bundle [ device [ Dsize [ Bsize ]]]"
or "unbundle [ device [ Dsize [ Bsize ]]] | tar something".
See included manual page for more information.

Bundle and Unbundle, version 1.6, were written by Bill Davidsen
in August 1987, and modified for Minix Operating System by
Tapani Lindgren (nispa@hutcs.hut.fi) and Pertti Kasanen
(ptk@hutcs.hut.fi) in January 1988.

We added a possibility to omit the arguments so the program should
be easier to use.  Default device names and sizes are provided for
Minix with either 360K or 1.2M drives and Vaxes with a TS-11.

We use Bundle with PD-TAR, posted to net some time ago. Minix tar
cannot be used, since it cannot use standard input/output as the
tar file.

WARNING
There is a "feature" in Minix file system that limits the usability of
this and similiar programs: if pipes are read or written in too large
hunks, the data gets lost without warning.  We haven't figured out the
reason yet.  Instead, we try to avoid the problem by using block sizes
smaller than 7K.
