I want to write files (filtered by date) from one directory to another.  On
my UNIX box, I can do this by writing to and reading from standard output:

 tar xvf - --I includes . | (cd newdir ; tar xf - )

(My old tar, not gnu version, uses the include
command, vs. --after-date=xxx).  
   In GnuWin32 tar on a PC running XP, I can't find a way to write to (and read
from) standard output; '-' is not understood as such, and '--to-stdout', as
in gnu tar on UNIX, comes out as the literal filename with the lead --.  Any
clues?
