You seem to have a newer tar, that has compression and allows '-' arguments, but there are some really old ones out there that do not behave as normally or nice.
I gzipped the files after.

tar and cpio were standardized at the same time. You might also find it illuminating that POSIX-2001 restandardized the tar format in a backwards-compatible way to support files >8GB, but cpio couldn't be adapted -- they removed it from POSIX instead. It's gone.

In short -- tar won, cpio lost. On many of my systems it didn't even come with the base OS!

Preaching to the choir, my friend. Smilie My personal bugbear is solaris /bin/sh...

Also tar does not have a linking to original, not copying, option like cpio pass and cp, since when space was a concern and overwrite was not, the object was to create a clone tree of hard links?
This is true. tar and cpio are not totally equivalent in functionality.
