Does `tar` under Plan 9 lack ordinary command-line arguments?
Such as:
tar -zcf arduinostate.tgz /n/arduino

No, which is a good thing. As demonstrated, things like -z are completely unnecessary. If you want to save time typing, you write a script. IMO things like -z are hacks people thought were clever because it saves THEM time typing without thinking of WHY it was not there in the first place. Pipes and shell scripts exist for a reason.
