I have been using tar to do it, endingin up with a tar.gz file. But the problem with it is that I do not have a unix machine at home so if I want to extract something or unpack the content, there is no easy way to do that. My question basically is if there is a way to end up with a zip file? Or are there any windows tools to unzip and/or extract content from tar.gz files? Many thanks in advance! Zbigniew Szalbot
