This is a summary to my query for a tar & general unix tools for DOS.

I found 4 tar programs for MSDOS on wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4],
which has a mirror of the simtel20 archives.

The one we got to work to transfer files & directories between our
Sun Sparcstation (i.e. make a tar file of a directory structure,
binary ftp it to the DOS machine, and untar it), was the file in
/mirrors/msdos/filutl/tar.zip
(Obviously, one must "unzip" the file to use it on DOS.)

There are also a large number of unix-like tools for MSDOS on the same
machine in /mirrors/msdos/gnuish  (This is an unofficial port of stuff
from the GNU project to MSDOS.)

Thanks to: 
Jeff Jenness (jeffj@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu)
Raymond Chen (raymond@math.berkeley.edu) who suggested looking in
             wsmr-SIMTEL20.army.mil for MS-DOS stuff
and one more I've lost, sorry :-(
