Well, I've got some diskettes at home I once created using SCO Xenix tar.
These contain some multi-volume tar files, but seem to be incompatible with
the GNU multi-volume format. I don't have access to a SCO Xenix system any
more, but I'd like to read these multi-volume tar diskettes. Does anybody
know of a tar or some program that can do this for me? Or please mail
me a copy of the tar format of SCO Xenix tar files, so I can write a
program myself.

Thanks,
