I have some data on a Unisys (5000/6000?) and need to get it over to a
Sun SPARC machine.  The only way is to use a cartridge tape (60Mb).
I have tried cpio (with some switches I can't remeber anymore) and tar cvf,
but the Sun machine can't read what the Unisys machine wrote!

Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?  The tape is the *only*
way to get the data across, the machines are in different countries with
an Atlantic ocean between'em!

Any help will be greatly appreciated;-)
