Hi,

	I am looking for a way to convert a 150 QIC archive, made on a
CTOS SG5000 machine, to a UNIX readeble format.
It's possible to read the tape with te 'dd' command.
But the archive has a certain internal structure, it appears that
it's build on blocks of 64 K with some control delimiters and within that
blocks you see a sort of 'tar' format.
Question: has someone out there a program that can read such a archive
          or is there a C-structure which gives me the layout of the
          archive so that I can make a program on myself.

Thanks
