Hi,
it seems that my first mail was not understood as intended...
For two weeks, star now supports POSIX.1-200x extended TAR
headers. It could (and should) be easily enhanced to
support archiving DOS file flags, ACL's and even more. The
Linux ACL project already noticed this and stopped thinging
about GNU tar. They soon will start to add ACL
support into star. It may make sense to coordinate the
ACL efforts for Cygwin, Linux & Solaris for star.
The version of star that supports POSIX.1-200x ext headers is
