I need to move files between a VAX with VMS and another with
UNIX. One way to do this is to run some UNIX-emulator under VMS
(e.g. EUNICE) and read/write tapes with tar. This seems like
overkill to me, however. Isn't there any program under VMS that
can read/write tar-tapes? (Or a program under UNIX that can handle
VMS backup-tapes?)
