In the past I have noted several articles regarding reading tar format tapes from VMS. The responses resulted in methods of passing tar files from unix to vms to unix hosts. I would like to know if there is any s/w which actually allows VMS to convert tar files into VMS files that can be manipulated on VMS hosts. -- Aura Leigh Berquist ...!uwvax!uwmacc!aura or ...!uwmacc!sal70!aura

The DEC/Shell, available from DEC, has a "tar" utility that reads and writes tar tapes fully compatible with the UNIX(tm) tar. File names get converted to lower case, and semicolons separated file name and version (in VMS-land) are converted into dots in the UNIX file name. --Hal Stern Princeton University
