A related question. Is there any reliable way of moving whole
directory structures between UNIX and DOS?  I've tried combining a DOS
version of tar (got it from the simtel archive) and compress16. This
bombs invariably when I bring a "tar.Z" file from UNIX to DOS. After I
uncompress, the "tar" archive is corrupt.

Are there any other portable archivers with same capability (ARC, ZOO
etc.)?
