I originally tried to reply direct but delivery appears to fail so I am posting this to the net instead. I have a program which will write ansi standard labelled tapes containing ascii data, or in the unformatted record mode any other type of data. It would not be unduly difficult to add ascii to ebcdic conversion (I am not clear whether this is what you mean by ebcdic binary data) however our IBM installation is quite happy to convert ascii to/from ebcdic for ansi tapes. We have used this program to transfer text to/from DEC (VMS and RSX) and IBM.
