Is there an option in the TAR/GZIP command to keep the icons/resources?
Or does anyone has a better option to compress files/directories via the terminal window in os X?
Via the terminal window ... I don't know, but DropStuff can make auto-expandable, PC-compatible archives I think.

I think you're right, Emmanuel. And you gotta love 'em for having such a succinct dictionary:
stuff: compress a set of file system objects as a StuffIt archive
stuff alias -- item(s) to be stuffed
[with format StuffIt5StuffItX] -- type of StuffIt archive to create (default: StuffIt5)
[delete originals boolean] -- delete the original files after successful archive creation (default: false)
[individually boolean] -- archive each file as an individual archive (default: false)
[dont recompress boolean] -- dont compress files that are already compressed (default: true)
[extracting MacClassicWindows] -- platform for creating a self-extracting archive (default: MacClassic, StuffIt5 only)
[compression level bettercustom] -- compression level to be used for the archive (default: better)
[password string] -- a password to use for encryption
[ignore desktop files boolean] -- ignore Finder files such as .DSStore (default: true)
[binhexing boolean] -- encode the archive as a BinHex file (default: false)
[adjust extension boolean] -- remove the “.sit” from the extension after BinHexing (default: true)
[into alias] -- a location to place the new archive
I'm pretty sure the Stuffit suite I have (Stuffit Standard 8.0.2) was free. I guess I might have paid for it, though.
