call name(tarex,'Extracting Tar from tape',I)
TAR may be extracted from the Magnetic tape as follows:
)l2a
% dd if=/dev/rmt0 bs=20b of=x count=3
% dd if=x bs=1b skip=1 count=49 of=tar 
% chmod 755 tar
) !p you can then extract the tape with the (single) command
)l2a
% tar xf /dev/rmt0
) !p this will use "mkdir" to make directories as needed.
you may obtain a listing of the names of the files on the tape
as follows:
)l2a
% tar tvf /dev/rmt0
) !p the manual page for "tar" is attatched.
