Laurent; I read tar DAT tapes on a regular basis to DOS, I use a DOS port of GNUtar version 11.2 dated 4-11-94 which was posted to one of the newsgroups.... Try the Simtel libraries, This port requires ASPI to talk to the tape hardware layer and it does not read byteswapped tapes as written by default by SGI computers... SGI is silly for writing tapes that way, SUN and everybody else does it the way PC boxes require (even APPLE tar tapes get written with the proper byte ordering) Jim Kiessling E-mail at jkiessling@aol.com
