Demonstrates how to create a compressed TAR archive containing an entire directory tree. This example creates a compressed archive using Unix "Z" compression. The typical file extensions used are .tar.Z and .taz. AutoIt

; 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")

    ConsoleWrite($oTar.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
