^D is only on specific line disciplines for tty. This is more
an EOF. In that case, use mt fsf 1

yep

Yes, but usually you need mt fsf anyway to skip the EOF.

BTW: fr hierarchy is french speaking, try not to cross-post there
if you don't translate.

La question �tait de savoir comment r�cup�rer un DAT dont le 1er
fichier est d�truit. Le plus simple est de faire (tcsh)

   setenv TAPE /dev/rmt/0n  # device non rewind, UNIX-version dependant
   mt rewind
   mt fsf 1
   # commande usuelle, ou un dd.
