Archiving gz files

[nisanb]

When attempting to archive an already tar.gz compressed file, it corrupts it and then I fail to extract.

Hi. I'm working on a .tar.gz reader based on microtar and this issue might be relevant to me.

If I get it right, you want a .tar.gz inside of a .tar? Why exactly? Do you have any tests?

I think he tries to archive a whole directory that contains some TGZs.

Yes, I am trying to archive .tar.gz files as well. I solved it by using ios::binary when reading the data from the file.
