Hi all,

    I'm using an Archive ST600 tape drive, which uses DC600A tapes.  I'm
running MSDOS 3.30, and the normal DOS utility (FasTape) from Archive
works great.  But I'd also like to bring home files written on Silicon
Graphics Iris systems using TAR.
    I do have the Archive driver for Unix, but I'm not running Unix.  Is
there a utility somewhere to allow reading TAR files from this tape drive
into MSDOS?
    
- Mark
