Have a "pickle" that needs immediate attention! I need help, PLEASE! I have a tape created with DOS "UNI_TAPE" which had 60 MB of date on it. Someone wanted to append 2MB to the tape, but instead of doing an "append", they did an "overwrite". Now, all attempts to recover the remaining 58MB has failed. Uni_tape only sees the "newly" written 2MB. It will not go any further. I have tried UNIX "tapedump" and "dd" commands, but they too seem to only look at the 2MB. Does anybody know how to dump the contents of the ENTIRE tape? Does anyone know how to get stuff off the tape if it has no header? Is there a UNIX utility out there that can read a WHOLE tape irregardless of tape markers, headers and volume labels??????? Please respond ASAP --- forever thankful Jo 9:45 EST April 13, 1994
