Not without preprocessing, AFAIK. The placement of the multiplex headers is described in the SAG, but not the layout. I figured out part of it a few years ago while working a different issue and have always assumed I could figure it out well enough to recover data if need be, given the openness of the rest of the layout from Veritas. But don't know it for a fact. Are you volunteering, Richard? :-) If anyone has PD layout documentation, I'd like to see it. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
