I have a few tapes that were created in VMSBACKUP format on a VAX system
running VMS 5.0.2.  I have a VMSBACKUP reader for UN*X (Version 3.0) and
it has worked many times in the past; however, it is having trouble with
the record type and blocksize these tapes.  The program does read the
saveset name properly though.  Does anyone know if VMS 5.0 has a different
BACKUP format?  And if so, has anyone updated this program to accept tapes
from 5.0??

Enquiring minds want to know,
Ray
