ascii files ^M

[Ron_Ferrante]

Hi,

I'm using this version of tar on my PC:

Z:\>tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.12

Does a later version of GNU tar handle the problem of ^M characters being 
appended onto ascii file records?
I sometimes need to untar tar archives onto an AIX UNIX machine where this 
problem becomes quite evident.

Thanks for your help.
