shar util problem

[Jagan M]

Hi,

I had a problem with command "shar" and "shar --help" shows that bugs can be
reported to address@hidden, so sending this mail.

Problem:
my PWD were having  5 *.CC files, 5 *.hh files, 5 *.txt files and one
makefile.
At this point I tried
$shar -T *.* > homework.shar
This resulted in WHOPPING more than 250 MB shar file.

But then, the next line worked perfect.
$shar -T *.cc *.hh *.txt makefile > homework.shar

Version Info
shar --version
shar (GNU sharutils) 4.6.3
