2. tar

The man for tar sux. I eventually figured out how to create a tar with



Yes, but as long as you expect man to be a tutorial, but it doesn't mean that.

1) tar cf x.tar y ==> c to command to "go" to tar, f (always at last) indicates that next comes 
the "tar-red" file's name, here x.tar, and then: y is the name of the dir you want to tar.

2) tar xf x.tar: x to command to "back" from tar, f again indicates that next comes 
x.tar (tarred file's name).

3) Other arguments:

a) t instead of x: look contents,

b) adding z before: compress/uncompress with gzip/gunzip (usually this files are named 
x.tgz or x.tar.gz, and are winzip compat.)

c) adding j before: the same but with bzip2 bunzip2.(I think it's not winzip compat.)



the content of a folder (\home\don) so that I could restore my email.



Don't to use that path's convention, you ain't go so far that way! (-:.

One quick correction...

'f' doesn't have to come last. ( c = create, x = extract, t = tabulate for other options. v for verbose is quite useful, but can slow down creation/extraction of an archive).
