There are to ways to handle this. First, you can re-create the archive on your Windows box using some more commonly understood format. If you use GNU tar version 1.14 or later, use --format=ustar. If the version of tar you are using is older than 1.14 (which is probably the case under Windows), use -o option. Secondly, you can install GNU tar on Solaris box and use it to unpack the archive. As far as I know recent Sun distributions already include it.
