Zipping an application package by script

[Brian Yennie]

Stephen,

I would really consider using the "tar" command through shell(). It's  
purpose in life is primarily to archive directories, and it can zip  
things up automatically. Here is a very basic guide:

With tar, this is a shell() one-liner. Just treat the app like an  
ordinary directory.

Hopefully I'm not missing some other requirement, in which case I'll  
shut up =).
