VMS BACKUP Revisited

Hello,
Thanks to all that sent replies regarding my question on reading VMS
backup formatted files on my SUN. Almost all referred me to a program by
John Douglass Carey and Sven-Ove Westberg that is available at
uunet.uu.net. There is a problem with this however. I had obtained a
copy of this utility some time ago and found that it reads VMS backup
*TAPES* and that it does it quite well. However, the tape interface is
fairly hard-wired into the code. My problem is that I need to be able to
read savesets that are *FILES*, shipped, for example, to my SUN via
kermit. I'm reasonably sure that the generalization of this utility is
straightforward for someone who is familiar with many of the inherent
difficulties... I only hope that someone else has already found a need to
do so.
Cheers,
