While exchanging tapes and tape images with a number of people on this list, I have mentioned the existence of this program to a number of people, but so far I haven't given it to anyone. Now I'm posting it to the list for everyone's benefit. This program can read a tape on a UNIX box without the user having to know anything about its format. This program automatically determines how many files are on the tape, what is the record size for each, and whether there are any oddities such as partial records. It saves each tape file into a separate disk file and produces a log of everything found on the tape. It's a simple C program and should compile and run on virtually any UNIX or UNIX-like system. The original version was written by one guy I met on another list once and then it was significantly enhanced by me. I include it below as a uuencoded gzipped tarball.
