If I remember well, ZIP in Pharo supports only one file (one stream of data). There is no support for directories. At least, when I have intended it some time ago, I failed.
I do not stand on using *.tar.gz, but I have not found better solution for my setup: Directory is compressed on Linux machine and should be extracted on any machine by using local tools. Do I miss some feature in Pharo? Cheers, Juraj > On Nov 20, 2015, at 12:35, Tudor Girba <tu...@tudorgirba.com> wrote: > > Why not use Zip files?
