Tar, zip, 7z only for multiple files and + bz & gz with single files

I think thats intended. tar bundles multiple files to one, gzip or bzip compresses. So, tar the files first and then use b/gzip on the tar. Now you got a tar.gz or tar.bz

IZArc can do what you need. I used to use 7-zip but then switched to IZArc when I found out how much more it could handle.
