- I need to extract information, if possible, from a tape which tar reads as
- having a 'directory checksum error'. Is there a way to trick tar into reading
- a tape screwed up in this particular way?
-
- What I also meant to add is that the archive is on 1/4" tape, the tape drive
- is a regulation SGI SCSI drive, and the computer in question is a personal
- IRIS running 4.0.5 (sort of--it was only running at the inst level when the
- archive was created).
