-
- This file lists the tape utility programs that are available in the Kermit
- Distribution on Tape E. The programs have been collected from various
- sources, and are being made available as a public service, with no support
- offered and no warranty expressed or implied. For distribution purposes, they
- have been renamed as indicated below. The names all follow this format:
-
- TU<s><f><tape>.<filetype>
-
- where:
-
- TU (for Tape Utilities) is the filename prefix for all the files,
-
- <s> is a single letter telling what System the program runs on:
- C - Any system with a C compiler
- I - IBM mainframes
- U - Unix
- V - VAX/VMS
-
- <f> is a single letter telling the Function of the program:
- R - Reads tapes
- W - Writes tapes
- B - Both reads and writes tapes
- P - A pre- or postprocessing program
- C - Copies one tape to another
-
- <tape> is a 2-character sequence specifying the kind of tape:
-
- AD - ANSI "D" Format (variable length records preceded by byte counts)
- BU - VAX/VMS BACKUP tapes
- OS - IBM EBCDIC OS Standard Label tapes, VB format (variable block)
- XX - Any kind of tape
- AO - ANSI "D" format or OS Standard Label VB format
- TA - UNIX tar format
- T2 - UNIX tar format (a different program)
-
- <filetype> is a 1-to-3 character sequence specifying the type of file:
-
- ASM - Assembly language
- C - C language program source
- HLP - Help file (plain text)
- NR - Nroff text formatter source (for UNIX man page)
-
- Here's a list of the programs:
-
- Kermit Original
- Name Name Contributor Purpose
-
- TUCPAD ANSID Columbia U. Unpack ANSI-D records (on disk)
- TUIROS OSTAPE Columbia U. Read on OS tape on VM/CMS systems
- TUIRAO SPROSC John Chandler Read OS and ANSI tapes on VM/CMS
- TUUBAD ANSITAR ??? Read/Write ANSI tapes on UNIX
- TUUCXX COPYTAPE Columbia U. Copy tapes on UNIX systems
- TUURBU VMSBU Monash U. Read VMS Backup tapes on UNIX systems
- TUUROS OSTAPE Columbia U. Read OS SL tapes on UNIX systems
- TUUWAO CUTAPE Columbia U. Write OS or ANSI tapes on UNIX
- TUVRTA RTAR ??? Read UNIX tar tapes on VAX/VMS
- TUVRT2 TAR2VMS Queen's U. Read UNIX tar tapes on VAX/VMS
- TUVWTA WTAR ??? Write UNIX tar tapes on VAX/VMS
-
- It's probably a good idea to rename the files from their distribution names
- to their original names before building and using them.
