I would like to add to the command line of both tarfile and zipfile interface some additional options that I believe to be useful. 1. Wildcard filename matching for archiving 2. Recursive archiving (with excludes) 3. Append to archive option 4. Compression Selection 4.1 For zipfile: zip64, bizp2 & lzma (if available) 4.2 For tarfile: document that gz, xz & bz2 are there and determined by ext.
