This is your UNISIG Librarian speaking.  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.
