Our problem:
We've got a PC with a DAT tape connected via SCSI.
We'd like to transfer files from the PC on the DAT tape that
can be read under Unix (specifically under HP-UX, but that 
shouldn't really matter). Since we are normally writing out
DAT tapes under Unix with 'tar', we would like to be able
to read and write such tapes under DOS.
Does anybody know of such a programm (commercial or otherwise)?

Any hint appreciated!
