Hi,
how do I append some files to a .tar archive using tar programme?

Try this:

Right click the tar file you want to add files to and choose 'Archive Manager' at the top. One of the icons in there to the right gives you the option to add files.

Is that what you mean? If not, to create one, right click a folder and choose the archive option ... :)

Hi, Thanks Bucky Ball.
Sorry I wasn't more clear... I meant using the command line :)

From the man page (see man tar) "tar -r"

-r, --append
