When you say 'UNIX formatted floppies' I assume you mean ext2? If so,
there is a ext2 DOS driver avail (haven't a clue where, but there should
be a link at LDP).
As for tar'd files, yup. Two things come to mind, get the ported GNU
tar for DOS or use something like WinZip (does tgz or tar.gz natively).
