I do not know how they are, made in windows, but it should. Also, IIRC
there were versions of the GNU unix common utilities ( cp, rm, mv, ln
) for windows which correctly worked with links, if you can get hold
of a reaosnable windows tar a 'tar c | tar x' should do the trick too.
Also, look at the copy command help, in linux I know cp -a ( for
archive ) does normally the trick.
