Question tar :: rename the file after archived

Hi,

I am archived two files using tar. Then I tried to extract the file in Windows. But only one file extracted. Other file is NOT extracted as the UNIX file name NOT compatible with Windows platform (In my case semicolon operator included in file name). Is it possible to rename the file ( in Unix ) after tar a file?. Or I need to remove the operators which are not compatible with Windows platform or I need to rename the file while I archive using tar. Because I should not touch original file at any cost !
