We have some PDP-11 PWB Unix dump tapes that we'd like to "restore"
(in some fashion) onto a 2.9 system. A comparision of V6 and PWB
man pages on dump formats seems to indicate that the formats are
the same and thus this problem seems to be equivalent to restoring
V6 dump tapes.
Does anybody have a program that can extract the contents of a V6
dump tape in any sort of non-barbaric fashion? (Non-barbaric==
something above the level of producing a directory full of files
named by inode numbers.)

From: Ron Natalie <ron@BRL-TGR.ARPA> On our system, we just create a file system and run the version 6 restore (of course, our system is unique in it's ability to use both V6 and V7 filesystems). -Ron
