i have read the data that i needed from the vmsbackup tape. yeah! the tool is 'vmsbackup' available from ftp://ftp.cs.uni-sb.de/pub/utils/vmsbackup.tar.Z compiles without modification, only the Makefile needs a change or two. suggested by Jean-Marc Zucconi. another possibility is 'ansitape' from comp.sources.unix. but i have not tried this program. my request was forwarded to dec, by a member of hackers. no response yet, but i'll keep looking. thanks to: Jean-Marc Zucconi <jmz@cabri.obs-besancon.fr> Terry Lambert <terry@cs.weber.edu> "Dr. Yasha Karant" <karant@gallium.csusb.edu> "Clay D.
