[net.wanted.sources] Need program to read IBM tapes

gamiddleton@thunder.UUCP (Guy Middleton) (01/24/85)

We have a tape here that was produced on an IBM MVS system, with whatever
strange label format IBM uses.  If anybody has a program to read one of
things, I'd really like a copy.  Thanks.

What's wrong with using "dd" and specify EBCDIC as the input format?

Best to try conv=ibm if your dd has it.
