Hi Michel/list, A former employee here wrote a small program that read the tapes directly. It had some shortcomings and tweeking (depending on NT or AIX). This is a program that was run on an AIX box. Not sure if it will compile on any other OS. It made no distinction of old/delted files and active. If I can remember correctly you supplied it with the node name, filespace and a file mask which you wanted to restore. It was slow, bulky and irritating to use, but has saved quite a few customers who are too cheep to buy a library/autoloader.
If this is something that interests you, mail me and I'll start digging through the 'misc' folder he had. It's written in C and was used on 3.x (mainly ADSM), but I think it will work on newer ones as well. Good luck with your restore.
