The zip command will create a zip file that can be used across disparate platforms, including Linux/Unix to Windows or Mac. In other words, if you need to send your Windows friend several ziped files and he can only deal with .zip files, keep it simple. Don't use bzip or tar, just use zip. Here is a command to create a highly compressed zip file to contain some log files. Then just get the produced zipfile to your Windows "without walls" friend.
zip -9 logServices.zip /var/log/messages myapp/logs/mylog.log /usr/local/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
