      Hello,
      I am totally new too. I tried the following from the command window: go to the directory where bdstar (using cd) is and then type bdstar.exe yourfilename.tar C:\path_where_your_dir_or_file_to_tar_is_located

      It did something for me. Now I don't know why, I expected to find a .tar file, but I got a .zip file.(located in the same dir as bdstar.exe of course, since I didn't give any other path)

        You must use the c option for creating an archive and the f option for its name, e.g.

        bsdtar.exe -c -f yourfilename.tar C:\path_where_your_dir_or_file_to_tar_is_located

      Well, what did you expect it to do? Do you know what "tar" is? It's not an application that has any kind of graphical user interface.
