untarring compressed files on unix

[elpico]

Hi there,

Is there a way to add the initial slash when compressing files on windows. Ie, I want to compress some files on my c drive, and be able to extract them on unix, but the initial slash is never added - Is there a way to do this?

See my attachment for more clarification. I also know its possible by extracting the tar.gz file from the root, but I'd like to be able to extract it to the /fsd/... directory from anywhere.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
e.
