star -c f=tar.out maxsize=200m .

or

star -c f=tar.out -find . ( -type f -size -200000000c ) -o true

( -type f -size -200000000c ) -o true  will include all non-plain-file type 
files.



If you use the built in find(1), you may do a lot other things including
incore uid change using -chown, gid change using -chgrp and mode change 
using -chmod

star excludes all files if the result of the find(1) expression is FALSE.
