What is the facility to read/write tapes that VMS can understand? ANSITAR (with -D option)? This I have. I would like it to be as easy as possible for a VMS site to load the tape and extract what I put on it with 'filenames' of some sort on the tape. I guess this is either the 'copy' or 'backup' format in VMS (?). The -D option of ansitar says something about it NOT being able to WRITE in variable record format, just read. Any insight? ---- b.c.mather Software Surgeon uiucdcs!uicsl!mather
