This is useful because everyone has to send tapes to/from IBM machines on occasion, so every major operating system can do it. This means you make a (boring) non-labeled tape, LRECL=80 (80 column card-images), some blocksize like 1680 (multiple of lrecl anyway), and maybe even EBCDIC if you have to. On UNIX, you use the DD command; I don't know anout VMS. -- Bill Stewart ho95c!wcs AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ HO 4K-435 x0705 (201-949-0705) {allegra, ucbvax!ihnp4, decvax!harpo}!houxf!stewart ------ Sorry if the articles I'm replying to re ancient; we lost news for a month.
