Tar.gz files...

What program is recommended for win32 to zip files in this format? And will it span files without having to use a disk? Like WinRAR?
If you don't want to install the Cygwin set (which is some sort of *NIX system running on top of windows, http://www.cygwin.com/ ) then you should download the tar and gzip ports to Windows:
http://www.gzip.org/gzip124xN.zip
http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.12.msdos.exe
I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to span files. You'll have to cut the big file in pieces and then concat the files before decompressing.
