A couple of students at the University of Colorado, Boulder have recently completed a software product which determines various characteristics of magnetic tapes. Currently, it is possible to obtain which format the tape was written in ,such as tar, ANSI-D, or VMS-ANSI. In addition, the program determines the character set of the tape (ASCII, EBCDIC, PRIME), block size, and the names of the files written on the tape. The output which includes all of the items mentioned previously also includes a data dump whose format and number of characters are user specified. We are in the process of trying to determine the tape's density and would appreciate any input on how to go about solving this problem. If you have any ideas, or interested in the manual page on this product, mail to the following address: Thanks, Michael Williams Mike Komoda Designers of 'examine' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ..{nbires,ncar,seismo,ihnp4}!boulder!tramp!williamm \ Bela Lugosi riding the BIT: WILLIAMS_MS%CUBLDR@VAXF.COLORADO.EDU / Kundalini Express in ...
