The command
tar rzf archive.tar.gz file
returns "abort"
If I don't want to ungzip the archive, I can't add files to it, isn't?
Thanks !

tar -rvzf ar.tgz d
tar: Cannot update compressed archives
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Neither can you compress a non gz'ed
tar archive file while appending
tar -rvzf ar.tar d
tar: Cannot update compressed archives
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
:(
Now let's hope somebody posts a nice
one-liner.

tar -czf newfile.tgz newfile && tar -Af original_tar_gz.tgz newfile.tgz
So you never get to decompress your original archive...

1. How does one compres files in this .tar.gz .Z and .tar.Z
I'm quite new at this and I don't know how to compress into
this formats.
if you do gzip, you get a .gz file, but how do I get the rest...
Also which is better????
