WANTED: utils to read/write mainframe 1/2" tapes

[Mike Schroeder]

Hi,
we here at PCS are looking for utils to read/write IBM mainframe-type
1/2" tapes. They should be capable of handling both multi-volume files
and multi-file volumes.

Does anyone in netland know whether - and if so, where ;-) - this
is available as public domain and/or freeware? Ideally, it should run
on un*x SVR2/SVR3, but we could transfer from 4.? or others if
necessary.

Any comments will be appreciated. Please email replies to the adress
below, if interest is signified by others, I will mail/post a summary.

Thanx in advance
Mike Schroeder
