You can install the "zip" program: # pkg_add -r zip and then use it recursively, e. g. % zip -r9 stuff.zip dir1 dir2 dir3 fileX fileY If there is no need for compression, change 9 to 0. Also see "man zip" for details. > Or are there any windows > tools to unzip and/or extract content from tar.gz files? There should be a TAR.EXE program, at least it existed as an addition to DOS. I'm not sure this exists for "Windows", or if you need some additional program for that. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
