Right. They're out to get everyone else too. ;-)

Anyway, back to something more on-topic. Is there anyone here who knows
of any software to read DC-300 tapes for PERQ workstations, created by
the STUT software, into files on a UNIX system?

Also, just a reminder: let's not forget to rewind our cartridge tapes
once in a while... I know, a nuisance, but it can help to keep them
readable... supposedly. Anyone else had DC-x00 tapes go bad, e.g.
tape sticking together when carefully stored, after just a couple of
years or less?
