- When I needed to exchange files between a VMS system and a SUN
- workstation network, I used 1/2" tape. I found that I had to
- mount the tape on the VAX using the /NOHDR3 qualifier. DEC
- adds additional file header information to the tape and the
- SunOS choked on them. Otherwise my approach is the same as
- yours. Reading and writing tapes on the Sun worked with the dd
- command.
