Hello David! This is meant as an addition to Kent's remarks that 'gzip' is inappropriate, and you should use tar to create the archive. The 'tar' program can additionally use 'gzip' to compress the archive. A useful command would be:
tar cvzf archive_name.tgz file_or_dir_1 file_or_dir_2 and_so_on tar czf .... does not print the filenames. See the manpage here: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/tar1.html Ahem... I'm assuming that Mac OS X uses GNU tar, and not some other version of the program. In this case you must read its manpage and maybe need to use a pipe: tar c all_files_of_the_archive | gzip > archive_name.tgz Kind regards, Eike. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
