Indeed. That should work quite nicely. Really, I mostly just want the
tar format to group lots of small files together into one location for a
file format I'm planning. Also, I want tar so I can compress it via
encryption, instead of normal compression, afterward (i.e. gpg, if
possible, much as if I compressed it typing gpg -c from the command-line
and put in a passphrase, and end up with a tar.gpg file).
