- Copyright
- ---------
-
- This program is set to FREEWARE. The usage is for free, except nazis, etc.,
- but that's something you already know ;-) Everbody can use this program and
- do with it, what he desires - but the contents of the program nor the manual
- for changing of manipulating or even selling is prohibited.
-
- The integrated programs in this package "TAR", "GZIP" and "UnTGZ" are set to
- Freeware or public domain, so there would be no complications to integrate
- them in this package, I think. Only I have right to are the program TGZ and
- the manual of TGZ (in german and english). The copyright is reserved to me.
- So (c) 1997 Finn Jacobs.
- The program UnTGZ was written by Oliver Wagner. Is there something wrong
- with it or something to add, please contact him for further information and
- service.
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- The program can be called like this:
-
- TGZ <archivefile> <directory> [<file1>,<file2>,<file3>,...]
-
- if you added the 'archivefile', you had to add a file- or a directoryname.
- ofcoz' you can add some files in addition to integrate them in the archiv.
- To get the usage-message, call TGZ without any parameters, so there can be
- all questions be answered.
-
- Error, damages, bugs, etc.

-
- Notices:
- --------
-
- This program is not a real archiver or packer. It is only for people like me
- who are very lousy on writing two commands in a shell to tar a directory and
- to pack the created file with gzip. This program is exactly this simple task
- to tar and gzip. It executes the tar and the gzip command in the path (usu-
- ally in the c: assignment) and that was it.

- History
- -------
-
- v1.0 - o first release in aminet was a simple script.
- o script only for shell useful
- v1.1 - o totally rewritten in Ansi C
- o limitation of parameters removed.
- v1.2 - o the internal string set to 256 chars instead of 2048,
- to avoid stack problems.
- o the output text was not successfully written in english.
- o in the last package I forget to copy the actual version
- of untgz 1.5 from Oliver Wagner.
-
- Future
- ------
-
- As I added the source-code to TGZ, everyone can change the inside-text to
- the language he desires. Due this I am not thinking of changing the text to
- german language. In fact anyone wants me to publish a german version, I will
- do this ofcourse (mail me via email or take the slow way via snailmail). Now
- it is only my lazyness to publish only an english version.
