Hi Nir,
sorry was searching the list, I thought this topic might have been
discussed earlier but didn't find anything.
Sure zip ist portable but using zip ist not an option. I you use zip
on encrypted data it's not really good at compression (happens that
these files get even bigger...) and second our encoded data is
embedded in a own format. So there might be restriction from patents
and whatever.
Best Regards,
Björn

In fact it doesn't have to be tar, but I need a portable way to
concat files and extract them. Zip is undesirably because the data
gets encoded afterwards and well its pretty boring and error-prone
to create this task yourself.
The most portable way is zip. The easiest way to create zip file is
with NSTask and /usr/bin/ditto.
If you search the list archive you will find a discussion about
this few weeks ago.
Best Regards,
Nir Soffer
