question about Ark in command line within Ubuntu

[Elvis Angelaccio]

Hi Olivier,

unfortunately it's not possible to achieve what you are looking for.

The -p argument tells ark which folder should be used to compress files 
from. So if you do "-p org/personal/computers", ark will try to change its 
current working dir to "org/personal/computers".

Cheers,
Elvis
