While tar will certainly combine files into a common archive, it does not do file compression. As Jawaid mentioned, use compress for this. It is fairly common in the Unix community to use both. For example, if you wanted to archive all your *.c files, you would type: tar -cvf - *.c | compress > src_archive.tar.Z .tar is the suffix for tar, and .Z is the suffix for compress. To get them back, just uncompress and untar (tar -xvf). --Devin Reade glyn@cs.ualberta.ca
