I'm not sure of what the best way to do this is (I've done DOS to DOS
and Linux to Linux), but it looks like tar -M would work (and according
to a quick test, it does). Your Debian system will already have tar
installed, and the address of a DOS version of tar is 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.12.msdos.exe
