Is there a PC tar program that's compatible with the Unix tar format?
I need to port some files from a Unix box to a PC, with all subdirectories
remain intact. Arc won't do it so I am thinking of using tar. But I
need to be able to untar it afterwards on the PC side. Anyone came across
this software? If not, any suggestions as to what other alternatives do
I have to accomplish this task? Thanks in advance.

Andy
