I don't have access to a VxWorks system, but I would be surprised if tar is not available for it. But if it's not, the source code is available, so you could compile it.

How about zip and unzip? There are plenty of Windows utilities that produce zip files. And zip and unzip are readily available for all the Unix-like systems. Aren't they available for VxWorks?
