ORBiT finally called back. To restore ORBiT backups on MPE/iX 6.0 you
must have
BACKUP+/iX v5.47h installed. Earlier versions of the BACKUP+/iX
software will not work on MPE/iX 6.0. They send me a copy of a demo so
that I can restore the files. I guess having a copy of the software on
the tape is not good enough once you've upgraded past MPE/iX 5.5.
