Yes i did. But as I read it, it works on single files only.

But after your posting I found: "7.19 tarfile -- Read and write tar 
archive files"

So I can just create .tar.gz files instead it seems.

That is just dandy.

Maybe that'll teach me to look better the next time.

I should have known that if it is something I need, it is in the library.
