- If you are picking stuff up via anon ftp, and the server supports the
- tar or tar.Z feature, then all you have to do is do a 'get' of the
- directory, and append the directory name with a .tar or .tar.Z and the
- server will tar up the directory and its sub-directories and send it as
- a tar or tar compressed file.
