If it's a variable record length tape, and you need to perserve that,
you can use my program "tapecopy" to either copy it to a more modern
tape media such as DDS 2 or Exabyte 8mm (just like tcopy), or to a
tape image file in John Wilson's format.
The source code for tapecopy is available at:
http://www.36bit.org/dec/software/unix-util/
However, it is not in any way specific to DEC 36-bit computers.
