When compressing a file or directory using the compress tar-gz command, the contents are first packed into a Tar file stored in a temporary file in the directory of the final product. However, the shell never checks to see if it is overriding a file, and just assumes none already exists. The shell should either put the temporary file in its temp directory or have a different naming scheme if the file already exists. The first option is definitely easier and makes more sense.
