	We have a Pyramid 98x running OSx 4.4.  Our problem is that we will
	soon be getting rid of it, and that the dump tapes produced by it
	are unreadable by any other machines we have (Suns, Multimax).  Has
	anyone figured out a way to restore dump tapes produced on a Pyramid
	on any other machine?
	
This was the first thing we did when we decided to shut our Pyramid down.
I think we just frobbed the Berkeley restore to deal with Pyramid's
block size and to handle the conditional symbolic links. dirs.c had a
few changes, with most of the difference being in tape.c. The rest of
the source modules didn't have to be touched. I guess we can supply diffs
if anyone is interested.
