I wasn't aware that Windows cannot handle tar (or tar.gz). I just know WinZip does it, Winrar and on MacOSX there's no concern either. There are also multiple freeware tools to do that but of course we *should* focus on what most users have installed.
after installation, afaik, WindowsMe+ and WindowsXP+ have the ability to extract .zip file. please bear in mind, that most of the ppl _using_ rc (which is more and more offered by isps) might have a "naked" windows installation without winzip, winrar, 7zip, etc.
