You can still use /SELECT along with /IMAGE.  In fact, just yesterday I
deleted I file I didn't want to (gggrrrr!!!) and restored it off a backup
tape.   This is under VMS 4.1.  This worked (as far as I remember) under
4.0 as well.  You do sometimes get "unexpected file change" errors when
you start the restore on a volume other than the first volume.  This is
because BACKUP had to break something across the two tapes.  If this something
is a directory, maybe you should go back one tape and start the restore from
there even though you KNOW the file is one the next volume.  I am not sure
of this, just making a suggestion.

You cannot use /SELECT with /PHYSICAL.  On fact, I have heard that if you
do backups on the HSC-50 directly to a TA-78 (without the VAX being involved)
you get /PHYSICAL backup tapes.  Is this true?  If so, that really makes
the backup tapes fairly useless.  I mean, I've had to restore an entire
disk once in the last 3 years.  But I have to restore people's files
several time a month...  Any comments?
