I don't know of a utility.  Certainly it would be possible to write
one.  If I recall correctly much of the original Fast File System code
was tested in user mode.  If you can't find one, I'm sure you can find
someone to contract for a couple of months to write one.

The other side of reading a VMS file system under ULTRIX would probably
have similiar difficulty.  If you really want to get fancy you might even
be able to add kernel support for it through the file system switch.
This was partly done during the advanced development work for the
file system switch.  A paper was presented at a USENIX discussing
the file systems that were added.  That code is probably long
archived though.

Good luck.
