The resulting file on the VAX should be sequential, with fixed length 512 byte records, and no record attributes. The obvious route of writing an ANSI labeled tape with 8 bit bytes by using the copy command on the 20 did not work. The resulting file on the VAX was sequential, with variable length records, and carriage return as the record attribute. Does anyone know what will work? Jim Adams
