If the tape is a CM STORE, try my TAPEDIR program (available, free,
from http://www.allegro.com/software/ )
 
or,
 
* Plug Alert *
 
The TINDEX Nugget, available from us for $### (one CPU license),
automatically determines if a tape is an NM STORE, CM STORE, TAR,
SLT, Dump, and a bunch of other formats, and gives you a listing of the
contents.  (It does more too, including optionally checking modification
dates of files on NM STORE tape to disk files, or building a script to
place groups/accounts on private volumes.)

P.s.: should I mention prices?
