Then if bzip & gzip are inside tar, you may not distribute them as standalone, so you cannot bzip or gzip any other file format than tar...
then you integrate them ... but still need ton have standalone versions to use them...this mean you need them both tow times on the system, one version included in tar & the standalone one... this is just stupid & useless. standalone versions called by tar with -j & -z ; is then better by far !
