This creates a bru archive of the ghm directory tree on the
default device.

c -> create an archive
v -> do it verbosely
s -> size of archive medium   ([Mm] = megabytes, ...)
f -> the archive file name (normally a device, like /dev/rct0)

If no `f' flag is present then the default device in
/etc/brutab is used.

Type `bru -h | less' to see a better description of bru's
arguments, or better still, consult the bru documentation
for complete info.

BRU is a commercial archiver from Enhanced Software Technologies.
