Steve (and the list):

I don't think you are going to be able to get there from here. Last *I* 
knew, the format of the Windows backup file was proprietary. I quite 
literally think that you are going to have to get W2K running somewhere to 
pull files off that backup tape.

Good luck. May the force be with you.

Bob.
