I have been using public-domain version of DOS tar, cpio, and pax that I
downloaded from Channel One in Cambridge, MA. It can read and write Unix
compatible floppies.

I have verified this with SunOS 4.1.1 and Esix System V/386 3.2D.

If you can't get it anywhere else, let me know and I can mail you the
binary (one binary is all three programs!)
