Is there a way to recover a tar tape that has been scribbled on?
Essentially, I have a 1/4 inch tape, written in SunOS 3.5 tar format that
wasn't (yes, shame on me) write-protected.  In the course of events,
someone did a "tar c" when they meant to do a "tar x".

Am I completely SOL, or is there a way to extract some or all the data?
Please feel free to call, +1 206 455 9838 if you can help.
