-
- The last program that I wrote for DOS ran under DOS/VS R26 (pre-VSE.)
- In other words, I don't know how anymore. If you can send me the
- macro calls for opening & reading tapes and writing to print files,
- I'll try to integrate it via conditional assembly. TAPEMAP uses EXCP
- to read the tape. I'll also need to know how to get the residual
- count in order to compute the block length.

-
- Well, at least we have a VM system here, so I might be able to learn
- enough to do that. But don't hold your breath on either of these,
- unless someone gives me all the system-dependent stuff necessary,
- as mentioned above. Also, for each system, I'll need to know how to
- determine from control blocks whether the tape is a reel, 3480, or
- 3490E.
