SYNOPSIS
       tgz [ destination [ source ...  ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       Make  a  gzip'd tar archive with the name of the first parameter out of
       specified files or, if no source files are specified,  from  everything
       in  the  current directory.  If the first parameter is omitted as well,
       the archive will be written to stdout.

BUGS
       tgz requires gzip in the user's path.  It also needs gnu tar  or  some-
       thing close due to use of --exclude, --totals and -S.
