Happy tarring, Marie If you are using a GNU version of tar, you can use the –from-files option, e.g.:

tar czf tonals2010-01-10.tgz –files-from tonal-files.txt

where tonal-files.txt contains a list of files.

Happy tarring,

You'll need some sort of Unix-y command substitute (e.g. cygwin), but you've probably already got it since you're trying to use tar. Anyways, this will do it for you: <code>touch my.tar && cat my.manifest | xargs tar rvf my.tar</code> Works for me! Michael,

Is there any chance that there's a program that will create one for me on Windows, or is there anyone out there that will create one out of my file (It's about 22 megs uncompressed) and send it back? Thanks ^.^ -- Michael I need a .tar made for me, but sadly I’m on Windows.
