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?) Both of these program exist. A vmstape utility recently made the rounds on net.sources, and a tar reader has been available on the net for a while. I haven't had to use either (we have TCP running), so I can't vouch for their correctness. Cheers, Tony ;-)
