Re: [cobalt-users] Zipping files on a raq3

["Cobalt" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Try this: tar -cvipzf filename.tar.gz /path-to-dir/more-path-if needed
this compress the '/path-to-dir/more-path-if needed' and sub-dirs in
the specified filename. (You can open after with WinZip in W9x)

Use 'man tar' for more info.

Hope this help.
R.B.
