FTP to the 3000 as binary into hfs an hfs file.

Go into the shell and untar the archive file. Here is a sample session where
I did it. There may be other parameters to tar that get rid of the warnings
concerning setting UID/GID but since the files were there I didn't bother to
explore them.

I have not used TCPY so I really can't comment. I know that TAPECOPY works
great. The only thing I have found that it would not handle is a TurboStore
tape created with ;MAXTAPEBUF parameter and that is documented in the
comments section of the source program.

HTH. Have a great weekend.

Doug.
