We have one old Apollo 420 and plan to get several
3000s before fall.  Our 9-track tape drives, however,
will be connected to our central Sequent Symmetry.  So I
asked the local Apollo rep if he knew of small programs
to convert formats from tar to wbak and back, in part
because we understand we cannot rbak and wbak to a
remote drive across our ethernet.  (Also, because of
the obvious convenience of such a facility.)  He said he
knew of no such utility.

I would really appreciate hearing news to the contrary!
