One more vote for pax, well worth learning.  The man page is a little
daunting on first reading, but in actual use it's easier to understand and
remember than other archiving utilities.  Plus it's good for copying
files.  

My favorite use case is "pax -zf foo.tar.gz" to list the files (to see if
everything will be put in a directory or not) and then adding an "r" to
the options to actually unpack the archive.
