Before electronically submitting your project code, use tar and gzip to create a compressed "tape" archive file of your project directory:

First make sure that your code is sitting in its own subdirectory, e.g., in your ~/cpsc215/asg1 directory:

	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215/asg1 > ls
	Makefile     a.out*       main.o       sample.out   stk.h
	README       main.c       out          stk.c        stk.o
	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215/asg1 >

Do a make clean to clean up all the *.o and executable files (to reduce space):

	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215/asg1 > make clean
        rm *.o a.out
	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215/asg1 >

Change directories to one above the current project directory, e.g.:

	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215/asg1 > cd ../
	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215 >

Create the tar file. The command syntax is:
```
	tar cvf <file.tar> <directory>
	
```
where <file.tar> is the tar file being created, and <directory> is the directory which will get archived (stuffed) into the single tar file:
```
	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215 > tar cvf asg1.tar asg1
	a asg1/Makefile 1 block
	a asg1/README 1 block
	a asg1/main.c 2 blocks
	a asg1/out 2 blocks
	a asg1/sample.out 2 blocks
	a asg1/stk.c 3 blocks
	a asg1/stk.h 1 block
	[andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215 > 
	
```
You'll see a list of a <directory/file> additions being assembled into the tar file. You should now have the file <file.tar>.
Compress the tar file using gzip: [andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215 > gzip asg1.tar [andrewd@hook] ~/cpsc215 > You'll now see the file <file.tar.gz>. This is the file you want to submit electronically.
