I'm working with a company that deploys tar files from Unix to Windows 
where the
Windows administrators set their directories up with various ACLs.

Cygwin's default TAR program destroys these ACLs when files are unpacked 
into
these directories.

Is there a command-line program that can unpack a tar file in such a way 
as to leave
the ACLs alone? WinZip can do this, but its command-line addon only 
handles ZIP
files.

Thanks much.
