Hello,
The documentation for the tar command leads me to think there is an internal
implementation when the command can't be found in the OS.
However, it doesn't seem to be the case, as I get an empty .tar file generated
on a small example I made :
> dir(pattern = "jpg")
[1] "MA56237502_635.jpg"
> file.info("MA56237502_635.jpg")
size isdir mode mtime ctime
atime exe
MA56237502_635.jpg 229831 FALSE 666 2010-11-29 13:05:49 2010-11-29 13:00:36
2010-11-29 13:00:36 no
> tar("example.tar", files = dir(pattern = "jpg"))
> file.info("example.tar")
size isdir mode mtime ctime
atime exe
example.tar 1024 FALSE 666 2010-11-29 13:43:29 2010-11-29 13:42:30 2010-11-29
13:42:30 no
Is this an unimplemented feature ?

Thanks,
