D:\>"D:\bin-local\UNIX\usr\local\wbin\gzip.exe" -c "d:\Temp.install\*.*" 1>"k:\gz\Temp.install.gz" d:\Temp.install\*.*: No such file or directory I'm also try to figure out how to take a list of dirs and get tar/gzip to work from that perhaps, but I'm don't seem to be getting my mind around it... :( I'd like not to have to dir to a file, edit the file, then run it individually...
