But for general information, the idea is to comply with American National Standard X3.27, level 3 or 4. (For best results, write level 3, read level 3 or 4; the difference is spanned records.) This is a proper ``ANSI tape'', with volume labels, file labels, and file data in standard formats. IBM operating systems, VAX/VMS, and most other reasonable operating systems can read and write such tapes. (Prime has some problems although they claim support.)
