Mike O'Dell is right that restoring whole v6 dump tapes
is a difficult problem. However, its quite reasonable to
impliment just the x (extract) option. This way you have
a way to get things from your old tapes. We have been prefacing
our v6 dumps~Bwith nchecks - to help get inumbers. Anyway, i've
got such a PWB/v6 restor program running on 4bsd. The main problems
were changing int to unsigned short and the char *i_size1 to
unsigned short. bob gray
