Hello all, Right now I'm trying to get a file written by Xenix 3.5 running on an Intel 320 to a 9track tape (by using dd(1)) to a Burroughs 1900 running GEMCOS. MCP keeps telling me that the records have a parity error. Is it because I don't have a header on the tape? If so, what is the format of the header??? Just to be thorough, this is what I am doing on the Unix (Xenix) side: (assuming I want to transfer a binary file named stuff ) uuencode stuff stuff > stuff.uu < I then put an extra character at the end of each line to avoid having the spaces get eaten > dd if=stuff.uu of=/dev/rxyt0 ibs=62 obs=80 cbs=80 conv=ebcdic Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thanks, - Rocco -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Usenet: uunet!unrvax!tahoe!roccom Internet: roccom@tahoe.unr.edu Withoutannette: mousketeers@disney.land.fun (ok, so its not very punny ...)
