	I have a program vmstape which can read and write VMS tapes under
UNIX. Unfortunately I believe it uses 4.xBSD magtape ioctl()'s so I don't
know how easily it can be ported to other UNIX's. But if you don't mind a
4.2BSD version of vmstape, I can send it to you.
	The program started out at Harvard.
