I need to dump an entire Networker catalog, to include a file listing of what's 
backed up and retention to text file. The plan is to use scanner at a later 
date for specific file recovery on another Legato environment on an "as needed" 
basis.

In other words, the customer will say I want:
/u01/app/file_name.txt restored from old_server_long_retired

Put the file on new_server_in_production

I will need to search the dump text file for that file in the date range 
specified by the customer, find out what tape and SSID it is in and use scanner 
to recover said file.

All this is for a just in case for their long retention data and they really 
need to retire the old server.

As always, advice and pointers welcomed and appreciated.
