Hi osf-managers

        I have a problem restoring a cpio QIC tape produced on an NCR 3xxx
system on my DU 3.2C. I have tried using the obsolete
'/usr/opt/sterling/usr/bin/cpio' as well and that didn't work. I have tried
using 'dd' to dump the tape to the disk and play with various blocking
factors conversion. That didn't work as well. I even tried using the cpio of
ULTRIX v4.4 just to face the same bad luck. Any clues ?

Thanks.
