Hi,
Do you know of any lighter/simpler alternative to the tar program?
tar preserves permissions, time stamps, etc. and this is great in some
cases. But in other cases, one just wants a simple way to concatenate
files.
Any idea?

Thanks Mihamina, Kushal and Mark.
Actually what I want is to compress a set of ascii files. I did some

Oh, in that case ex isn't what you are looking for. It only extracts
files.

The old 'ar' archive is fairly lightweight. Couple
Moin,
'/bin/afio' is another interesting tool compared to 'tar', though it might
not compress better.
It's main advantage is: It compresses each file separately and then adds
it to the archive. This means that a data corruption will only cause data
losses of the files affected, but won't render
