1) may be old, but the tar implementation on there is fast, and works - we use it at work all the time.
Which dll was missing? It may well have been one of the MS C runtimes or similar, easy enough to get hold of.

Basically, the answers were: 1. http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ 2. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 3. http://www.tugzip.com/ 4. cygwin (1) is a very old project and hasn't been updated for a long time. I didn't try it. (2) is updated, but when I tried the "tar" package, it croaked on a missing DLL that isn't mentioned anywhere on the site, including the installation instructions. (3) worked. (4) I don't like cygwin :) I should be happy (I have a solution that works), but I'm not - can it be that the only native (I don't consider cygwin "native") working solution for a Windows "tar" a freeware one? I fully expected someone to come up with a Perl script, I'm surprised no one did. I will investigate this further and report if I find anything... Thanks again everyone for your help!
