GKN@SDSC.BITNET (Gerard K. Newman) (09/27/86)
A while ago someone mentioned the existence of such a program. As it turns out I suddenly need a copy. If anyone can send me a pointer to same that I can get via the net I'd sure appreciate it. gkn

Here's one person who has a tar to VMS program. I believe there are
others, but this is the only one I could find in my "archives."

RE: READING TAR FILES ON VMS SYSTEMS
I noticed a recent request for information on any utilities
to handle Tar format tapes under VMS. We run several UNIX originated programs
under VMS here, and finally got tired of having to move files via other
people's hardware, and still having to convert them from stream format
to VMS editable format.. so we have a little program now that will move
the contents of a tar file (all of iits files) from tape into VMS directories,
like BACKUP does under VMS, creating directory trees as necessary.
I would be glad to make the program available (it is written in C
for the VMS C compiler, and uses QIO's) to anyone who is interested. The
program will be expanded shortly ( I hope) to write Tar so that we can send
code back to UNIX users.
My BITNET address is currently: PENSTONE@QUCDN
As soon as the site lists are updated, it will be PENSTONE@QUCDNEE1
The second address is preferable, as the first is on an IBM system,
which has no automatic mail forwarding to our VAX.
