Found It! 2003-08-24 - By Becca Putman
Back Between these two lists, I figured my problem out. My TZ87 tape drive works perfectly under Linux. I found a product called vmsbackup that allows unix users to extract plain-text files from a VMS backup tape. If anyone else is interested in such a piece of arcana, it can be downloaded from http://vms.process.com/ftp/vms-freeware/FREE-VMS/. I had to hack the code (can't use any other word than that, as I'm not a C coder at *all*) to eliminate certain files from being attempted. Once I did all that, every came off the tape nice and clean.
Next topic will be... *smile*
Thanks to everyone who has had input here - I really do appreciate the help!
