Your question is ambiguous...dos and unix are not file-types ... they're operating systems (and unix refers to a whole class of operating systems...)

if you're referring to the naming conventions, then it should be easy to rename the files before tarring them...if you're working with binary files then conversion will need to be done specifically for each file (hopefully you have a conversion utility for whatever type of conversion you have in mind)

Unless these files are spread across multiple directories and subject to a long list of constraints, this seems to be something that would be better performed with a batch script within the source operating system.

If you're concerned with simply transporting the files from one system to another, you can probably just ftp the whole tar file from any convenient terminal program...

Please provide more information as to the nature of your problem.
