I've been struggling to get this to work for so long that when I finally got it going I had to throw it up here so I wouldn't lose it.

rar a -m5 -R output.rar /etc/

This will create a max compression (not taking into account dictionary sizes and the like) archive of the entire etc directory.

For use with gems, cpan, etc. Inside cmd.exe, type

set HTTP_proxy=http://my.proxy.server:8000

Run, CMD, blah blah blah...

For a pretty tree, do

tree /f /a > tree.txt

For an ugly (but thorough) inline list of directories and files, sorted by directory name and then date of creation, do

dir /s /a  /o:-d /t:c > file_list.txt

If you don't want subdirectories listed under directories, do

dir /s /a:-d /o:-d /t:c > file_list.txt
