Howdy,

So amongst all the other pains of transitioning from a 3000 to a
9000 :-((  I keep having cows about what to do with the 9 years
of offsite archive data we've got to deal with.  It's all on DDSII
tapes in MPE STORE format.  It consists of TurboImage databases
COBOL source code and executables.  Total of ummm 550-600GB.

If I can get it into some kind of reportable format on the 9000 I
can dispense with everything but the TurboImage data.  Keeping
the 3000 after migration and loading up the tapes one at a time
and going through the same process we use for the current data
is not an option.

The stuff does not have to be online, it just needs to be more or
less readily accessable.  It's the freakin' auditors ya know.

All suggestions, excluding put it in the cow pasture, are appreciated.
