| | Anyone know or recommend a good program to create tar or gzip file for windows? While I do have cygwin, I dislike it. |

| | Winzip amazingly enough in more recent versions has started adding tar functionality. There's also winrar and some other shareware/freeware stuff out there that can handle tar files for windows. |

| | The latest version(the beta test they have available, actually) of winzip doesn't support the creation of tars. Guess I keep looking. I appreciate the comment though. |
