can dar handle Mac resource forks

Can dar handle resource forks in the Macintosh file system? A resource fork is data
that is
bundled along with the regular file. Traditional archivers like tar cannot handle
them. (A 
hack was invented for pax, called hfspax, which can handle these resoure forks.)

If these resource forks do not get copied to the archive many files will be useless.

Also, I was wondering about how dar handles compression. My impression is that one
should
not use compression when using an archiver like tar, since one little bit of corruption
in the 
archive, and the whole archive is useless. Other archivers like afio handle compression
much
better and are considered safe to use.
