Howto?

[Gene Heskett <gheskett@shentel.net>]

Greetings all;

Trying to sort out how to xz compress.  But xz is rejecting directories, 
like it expects tars output as its input. And the  manpage is silent on 
redirections.

I want to compress the directory foo into foo.xz, keeping foo as there 
may be further patches applied in the future.

Syntax?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
