- While exchanging tapes and tape images with a number of people on this list, I
- have mentioned the existence of this program to a number of people, but so far
- I haven't given it to anyone. Now I'm posting it to the list for everyone's
- benefit. This program can read a tape on a UNIX box without the user having to
- know anything about its format. This program automatically determines how many
- files are on the tape, what is the record size for each, and whether there are
- any oddities such as partial records. It saves each tape file into a separate
- disk file and produces a log of everything found on the tape.
-
- It's a simple C program and should compile and run on virtually any UNIX or
- UNIX-like system. The original version was written by one guy I met on another
- list once and then it was significantly enhanced by me. I include it below as
- a uuencoded gzipped tarball.
