I don't think you can do that. Some references I found. Curious minds can do more R&D :-) ,---- From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip | gzip is normally used to compress just single files.[4] Compressed | archives are typically created by assembling collections of files into a | single tar archive, and then compressing that archive with gzip. The | final .tar.gz or .tgz file is usually called a "tarball".[5] | | Gzip is not to be confused with the ZIP archive format, which also uses | DEFLATE. The ZIP format can hold collections of files without an | external archiver, but is less compact than compressed tarballs holding | the same data, because it compresses files individually and cannot take | advantage of redundancy between files (solid compression). `---- ,---- From zip's manual page | zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS, | OS/2, Windows 9x/NT/XP, Minix, Atari, Macintosh, Amiga, and Acorn RISC | OS. It is analogous to a combination of the Unix commands tar(1) and | compress(1) and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katz's ZIP for MSDOS | systems). `---- --
