I've been wondering a similar thing ( see my posting of 04 Oct 1999
at http://www.webserv.com/pipermail/sharethenet/1999-October/000536.html ).
I've been able to include executables on the disk but have gotten 
"foo not found" errors when I try to actually run them from the 
debug prompt on tty8/9.  And yes, I did create the executables 
with the proper kernel version.

Anyway, .tbz is created by using bzip2 and tar, for example 
  
   tar cv . | bzip2 > /tmp/yourFileName.tbz

will tar and compress the current directory into /tmp/yourFileName.tbz.
STN (actually, the STN script) will uncompress and untar all .tbz files 
it finds on the STN disk.   Getting your new stuff to actually run
is another story.
