I have a tape that was written on a PDP-11 running RSTS with PIP. I have tried (unsuccessfully) several times to take it off on our VAX (VMS 4.2) with the RSX utilities. Even Exchange was only able to get one and a half of the six files off the tape. (The half is one that it mangled.) Every time that I try with Exchange(and FLX, PIP gives me tape-not-ready even though it is) it will give me an error something like 'error in input stream format', and FLX says 'bad ASCII record format'. I know that these files were write verified. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Five of the files are pictures of the type that reprint the same line three times printer. (Mona Lisa, Spock, Moon, you know what I mean.) The sixth is a text file. It came off perfect. Any new ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ~Rob UUCP: ..decvax!wanginst!ulowell!rimbold CSNET: rimbold@ulowell
