If it's simple and you have the time, please do issue a test version. It can't hurt...

This is a project (attempting to extract non-HP data from some compatible tapes) being done by a crew at HPCC (so with Mark), and is discussed bi-weekly during the virtual HPCC meetings (you see, we can't enough zoom sessions during the week with our jobs and family virtual meetings...). This is where I suggested ILvLIF, and where an initially very simple program to get the raw data began, and ultimately morphed into the more professional solution crafted by Sylvain.
