Probably not even worth trying to get vanilla Windows to read a tape 
created under VMS, but that doesn't mean vanilla Windows can't work with 
tapes at all. Assuming the tape drive is properly connected with the 
right driver, Windows can read and write from/to it (e.g. using 
NTBACKUP.EXE in Windows XP).
