There has been a UNISIG tape in existence since the previous DECUS symposium (Spring '87). It has been submitted both to the DECUS library and to the LUG tape distribution tree, and should be available from either. However, to my knowledge, neither of these places has figured out how to copy a 'tar' tape using a VMS system, so they are all stalling. I hope to give things a good healthy prod during next week's symposium, so that the software can be distributed before it dies of bit rot. -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego {ihnp4|decvax|dcdwest|ucbvax} !sdcsvax!mplvax!cdl
