Yes. Location, links, attributes, rights, case-sensitive long filenames,
etc. Everything can be preserved in a tar archive. That's why easymint
uses tar archives. That's why zip and lzh are less suitable for this
purpose.

If you want smaller archives, use gzip to compress the tar file to a 
.tar.gz or .tgz file. In that case unpacking will take a little more time.
