[mod.computers.vax] VMS to RT-11 tapes

kaplow@CRVAX1.DEC.COM (There is no 'N' in TURNKEY) (07/25/86)

	If you do forget (or don't have control) to convert the files to
    stream format, RT-11 utilities will have problems with them. Never
    fear, TECO/RT can read the files in VMS (same as RSX) format, and
    output files that RT-11 understands. I've done this many times in
    moving files between RT-11, RSX, and VMS systems. You don't need to
    do anything in TECO other than immediatly EXit<esc><esc>. Even
    Non-TECO gurus like myself can master this operation. 

	TECO is no longer on the current RT-11 distribution kit, nor is
    it supported by Digital Equipment Corp. It can be found on old RT-11
    kits (V4.0), or it can be ordered from DECUS. 

	BTW, TECO on RSX or VMS can convert RT-11 format files back to 
    what the host operating system wants to see.
