off topic for the list, but
does anyone have a FreeBSD tool or pointer to code to read dec vms backup
format 9 track tapes? here is an example of the header on the tape
(retrieved with dd)
VOL1BACK_F 3
HDR1BACK_F.BCK BACK_F00010001000100 88326 00000 000000DECVMSBACKUP
HDR2F0819208192 M 00
the next part of the tape is 8k blocks that i have read with dd, but they
remain fairly unintelligible. (hey, whats the problem, bits is bits! ;))
someone know how to decipher this stuff?
