> And 'The ANSI labeled tape spec' is available where.... ?
ANSI sells copies - I don't know the current price. The one I carry
around with me is ANSI X3.27-1978, "File Structure and Labeling
of Magnetic Tapes for Information Interchange". There's a more recent
Level 4 document that makes the (obvious) Y2K-compliance workaround
the "official" solution, but I can't find my copy at the moment (I
may very well have left it at a customer's site... oops!)
>> When dealing with RT-11 (not ll!) tapes under VMS, please keep
>> in mind the very detailed advice in the RT-11 "Volume and File
>> Formats Manual", pages 1-37 through 1-39.
> Easier kept in mind when the mind in question actually has *access*
>to the aforementioned document; this one does not. :(
Get me a fax number and I'll send you the relevant pages.
