; The TAR component will produce a  GNU tar 1.13.x format
; archive by default.
; It is also possible to create PAX -- POSIX 1003.1-2001 format
; or USTAR -- POSIX 1003.1-1988 format.
; Set the WriteFormat property to "gnu", "pax", or "ustar" to
; choose the output TAR format:
$oTar.WriteFormat = "gnu"

; Add a directory tree to be included in the output TAR archive:
$bSuccess = $oTar.AddDirRoot("/Users/chilkat/temp/abc123")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oTar.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit

; Create the TAR archive.
; Note: You may use UNC paths, absolute, or relative paths.
