I have a file on a floppy disk (high density) that's in Xenix tar format.
Now we do have Xenix in the lab where I work, but since we got Sun workstations,
nobody's used the Xenix PC, and I don't want to go through the trouble of
installing it, if possible.  Is there an utility that allows us to read Xenix
tar format files while in MS-DOS---in the same way that Xenix supplies dosread &
doswrite utilities to read and write MS-DOS files while in Xenix?

Please let me know if there is, and where I may find it.
It would certainlyl be much appreciated.

Thank you
