Where are they? They don't seem to exist on my 5.3 system, and I can't

How does on copy a complete directory hierarchy, including any hidden
files?
"cp -rp" leaves them out.
Some versions of cp seem to have a '-a' flag which will make it copy
them, but it isn't available in the FreeBSD version. Is there a trick,
or something obvious I have missed?

Apologies if this is a bit off topic.

applications so that they are OS-agnostic. They should work equally well

I have trouble with tar's -N format with 5.1 (yes, I am going to upgrade
to 5.3 this weekend).
Commands such as
tar -cvzf arch.tar.gz -N '2004-09-01' *

tar -cvzf arch.tar.gz -N'10 days ago' *
work fine for periods in the recent past (up to about 40 days), but for
