[Opensim-users] Creating oar file from folder

[Tom Willans]

Thanks guys.

If I just enter tar -cf ( or tar cf my tar version accepts both, you  
do not strictly need the f either. ) it complains about not being in  
zip format. tar -czf or -czvf it can then read in the files i.e. it  
now knows about the folders assets etc.  The oar compression format  
is tar.gz.

Frustrating sometimes.
Tom
