Is it similar to what tar.exe -h option which can be used when we form the tar on folders/files? The important point here is that the tar is created by using standard tar format described in link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing) While forming tar, it uses link indicator as '2' as described in above link and my requirement is to untar that on windows; the tar is created using above format on Windows.
