- Mike,
-
- There used to be a program floating around by the name of
- TAPECOPY, which provided a dialogue based way to read tapes, I
- dont know where I have a copy of the source however.
-
- In the range of non-public domain programs, there is a Digital
- Product called VMS. The following commands should work:
-
- $ MOUNT/RECORDSIZE=xxxx/BLOCKSIZE=yyyy/NOWRITE/FOREIGN MTA:
- $ COPY MTA: X.TMP
-
- I hope that the above is helpful. If I have been unclear, please
- feel free to drop me a note.
