[mod.computers.vax] Tape Transfer

obrooks@NSWC-WO.ARPA.UUCP (02/26/87)

	We are starting to have a demand for the capability to transfer
tapes (executable & source) between a VMS 780 to a UNIX 750. Has anyone
had experience with this? And how did you do it? I am thinking of using
MAG (on VMS side) and DD (on the UNIX side) at 1600bpi. We need to use
a tape media in this case. 

	HELP!

    I would recommend using the unix ansitar utility, which will write ansi
labelled tapes.  You should be able to read them with the copy command
on VMS.  Ansitar has been distributed in the kermit and TeX distributions.
