That wasn't exactly lucid. How about:
Pack the file "file1", and directories "directory1" and "directory2" in
a tarball named "foo.tgz"
tar czvf foo.tgz directory1 file directory2
c = create, z=compress, v=verbose, f=file name -> next argument (foo.tgz)
Versions other than GNU tar will probably not understand the "z" flag,
and you'll have to
tar cvf foo.tar directory1 file directory2
gzip foo.tar
to get "foo.tar.gz", which is equivalent to "foo.tgz" above.
