Reading past end-of-tape?

Hello, all.  I hate to take everyone away from the GNU kernal
discussion, but...

A short while ago, someone put some very important drawings
onto a 1/4" tape using tar.  Subsequently, and end-of-tape
marker was written at the beginning of the tape.  I think
that trashed the first drawing. but the others should still
be around, just not readily accessable (correct me if I'm
wrong).  Is there a PD or standard UN*X utility that will 
read the info that's past the end-of-tape marker?

I'm running SunOS4.0 on a 3/60.  The tape was written under
SunOS3.5.

Please respond via e-mail.  Thanks for any help.
