Zipping an application package by script

[Brian Yennie]

Is is possible that you reversed the parameters? The "tar" output file  
comes first, then the remaining parameters are files / folders to  
include.

tar -cf MyApplication.app MyApplication.tar

=>

tar: MyApplication.app: Cannot open: Is a directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar -cf MyApplication.tar MyApplication.app

=>

success!
