For all those trying to get data from VMS to UNIX to VMS, try using ANSI labeled tapes. UCSD Chemistry has a program that generates such tapes under UNIX and another that reads such tapes. These tapes are the normal VMS tapes generated by VMS COPY. Maybe one should contact Steve Dempsy, ....!sdchema!sd or (619)452-4016 John Cornelius Western Scientific

A *really* easy way of transferring data between VMS and UNIX is to use a small (~ 30 lines) program on the VMS side which handles the conversion between the formats. The UNIX format is 512 byte blocks, so all you need to do is unpack or pack the records and insert or strip newlines as needed. On the UNIX side, you just cp(1) to or from the tape device. I can supply details if needed. Eric Stern
