I think this is in the FAQ but since I don't have it handy:
tar -cvf <Tarfile>.tar <files/directories to tar>
gzip <Tarfile>.tar
mv Tarfile.tar.gz Tarfile.tgz (just for 8.3 compliance - some programs are still
picky)

It was zipped on a linux system (redhat) with zip.
I am not experienced with the tar and gzip except to unzip/untar them.
If someone would send me command options to use to complete the tar.gz's
I will use that from now on..
