re: DAT Tape Archive Retrieval

FYI - Tape access problem solved thusly: The archives were actually made using SAM in HP-UX, not tar or cpio. Therefore, no other tape software could read it. I had access to an HP-UX system friday and discovered this. Using SAM I was able to extract the data and record it onto another tape using simple tar. That was able to be read on my NT box using WinTAR software.
