Title: Need help on transfer of text files between RSX-11 and UNIX (V7). I want to transfer text files between RSX-11 and UNIX. One of my friends told me using unlabel magnetic tape and the following commands : UNIX : using 'dd' command for reading/writing. RSX-11: using the following commands: > MOUNT MT0:/NOLABEL > MAG SET MT0:/BS=80./RS=80. > PIP MT0:X=inputfile (MT0 is the device name for the magnetic drive) Unfortunately, when I tried the RSX commands to write the inputfile onto the tape, the system gave me two error messages : PIP --- Unable to open output file MT0:X. -- Bad record type Can anybody out there tell me what's going wrong and how to correct the mistake(s). Is there any other method to transfer files between the two operating systems ? Please send mail to me, thanks in advance! ykwong.
