could not access
them. Fortunately they - on purpose - used tar format for transportability so
I could get the files out.

do'h,
that is why I always save the comma
Got it.
tar -tvb 240 -f /dev/tape0n | more
lists the files. I did some searching and found that the error (cannot
allocate memory) sometimes shows up when the block size is wrong.
For dd
dd -if=/dev/tape0n -of=archive1 bs=240b
did it.
Thanks for the help. I got to delve a little deeper in
I dug up some docs and found the format is
Tape label Fileset label First backupset Filesetlabel second backup set
where each section/filemark begins a tar archive. Tape label is a file in Tar
format that allows the program to identify the tape. Data following tape
label are fileset/backup pa
ut asf. Thanks

Okay, I think I figured out what they are doing. They have a bunch of files
for the labels. If I move forward using asf n where n is a number from 1-n I
can walk through the label files. They take two files/label file so I go
from 1 to 3 to 5
How do I get to this file to untar it? What
