It uses some 4.1BSD-type magtape ioctls to skip and/or write tape marks, but otherwise should port fairly easily. I just used it last week to extract files from an ANSI tape--it worked just fine. I can send it to you over the net if you get permission from the people at Harvard (or you can arrange to send them a tape etc.) Best, Steve Dyer
