Question : Oracle Partial Database restore 10g

Hi there,

First thing: No it's not my production database :)
So no worries, if it's not possible.

Second thing: the problem
I need to restore a part of a database.
I have a tape which was damaged.
I was able to restore the 5 files for the tablespace i need.
However System and SysAux are missing from the tape.

Now i need to find a way of attaching 5 files (for 1 tablespace)
to a new database.

To put it real simple: I only have those 5 files of that 1 tablespace. Nothing else.
It would be a worst case scenario, but it's just to retrieve missing data in that tablespace.

First question: Can this be done ?
Second question: If Yes, how. (Rough approach is ok, i'll try and figure out the details myself)

And the nice thing: I need to do this twice.

The files were copied with the OS: after issueing "alter tablespace PCSTBL begin backup;"
I have no archivelogs, no system files, no controlfile, not anything of that time.
The database was not backed up with rman.

If you need anything else, let me know.
