Hi Eric!
I decided to solve the problem running Tar from a
Lazarus program via TProcess(no shell involved).
I have no troubles with run Tar and take its
outputs back. With a little help of my friends from this mailing list.
I go to the site you mentioned and the
explanation talks about back up network directories.
My idea go beyond this proposition. I'm trying to
give the user a tool to select any file and/or
directory from any kind(network or local
files/directory) and generate a tar, tar.gz or
zip file with the group of files/directories
selected. The only problem I have 'till this
moment is get filenames and directory names from
the same visual component... Do you any suggestion?
Thank you

I don't know how you do it in a cross-platform
way, but if it's just for Linux
then the 'shell' function makes it easy to run shell commands from a Lazarus
program. I'm developing a simple personal backup utility using tar to do the
actual archiving work. If you're interested, have a look at the source code
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/backerupper
