Utility to convert tar.(gz|bz2) files to ZIP files
When working on Windows, I prefer to deal with ZIP files over tar.gz archives. It's just nicer, since ZIP files are integrated into the Explorer by default, without needing to install any programs like 7-zip.
Since Go comes with packages for tar and zip, it was very easy to throw together this converter. Now, when I get a typical tar archive, I can just convert it and go about my business.
You should be able to install this program by saying:
go get github.com/rwtodd/Go.Tar2Zip/cmd/tar2zip
tar2zip [-verbose] infile1 infile2 ...
The verbose
flag causes the program to write a line about
every converted file in the archives
