Uh, could you be more specific?  Where doesn't it calculate the file size,
on a /list equivalent?  Does it incorrectly restore large files to the disk?

I just grabbed it and played with it myself, and "restored" a couple of
smallish example files onto the unix box in question and it seems to work
fine [thank clod; having to dump them out and transfer them from the only
remaining vms machine here is a pain].  What exactly broke?

Since it comes with source, everyone should be able to fix whatever's
wrong with it [and determine the format of a backup set from it too].

Perhaps your tape was written with a weird blocksize [I routinely use something
around 60000] and that's what got it confused?
