[Cialug] create .tgz on Win32

[Nathan C. Smith]

The scheduled tasks service is running as Administrator?  Unless you've
changed settings it runs as system or localsystem.

It does or does not run in the batch or cmd file when executed as
administrator?

Will be running as a .bat script scheduled task, as Administrator. My 
test was when logged in as Administrator.

I typed:

tar -cvf - c:\test\*.* | gzip > test.tgz

It says:

tar: Cannot open-: Permission denied

Maybe the stdin / stdout thing is b0rked in the Win32 version.
