GNU tar 1.13.19

[Cesard, Patrick O.]

Hello,

I'm using the GNU tar to archive a folder on a win2000 machines. However
when I untar the file on a Unix machine I get a ^M in place of my DOS
carriage return (CR) characters. Shouldn't GNU tar give the ability to use
the ISO character instead of the DOS character set when creating archives on
a windows platform? Like run the files through a dos2unix utility before
archiving...
