compress folder using pigz
pigz, which stands for parallel implementation of gzip, is a fully functional replacement for gzip that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores to the hilt when compressing data.
But this tool is used only to compress a single file.
How i can manage it to compress folders too from source code:
http://www.zlib.net/pigz/pigz-2.3.3.tar.gz
Or any other idea ... but without using TAR since i want use it too in windows os.

PigZ will only compress single files. You will need to use an archiver to collect the files into a single file.
You can use ZIP with no compression (-0) as an archiver, then pipe the output to PigZ for parallel compression.

Check out: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb417343.aspx Specifically: The following command stores files in the cabinet with no compression:cabarc –m NONE n mycab.cab <files to arcive>Then run pigz on the cab file. Can easily be done in a BATCH file.
