Description

Here's an AppleScript droplet to compress files and folders with the 
unix utility "gnutar" which comes with the Apple Developer Tools. This 
script equals to manually typing "gnutar zcf" with Terminal. You can 
have a choice whether to add suffix or not. By default, the suffix is 
the date in yyyymmdd format. I build this script to save myself a few 
seconds every time I back up my files (which happens many times daily). 
This script is provided to you "AS IS" and the responsibility for its 
operation is yours.
