command-line archiver that understands Windows ACLs?


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.
