I need software that: o runs/compiles on SPARCstations under SunOS 4.1 o can access an HP 9-track tape drive (SCSI) o is either free or commercial o reads and writes tapes in these formats: -IBM SL (EBCDIC) -IBM NL (EBCDIC) -BCD -ANSI with various block and record sizes o has a decent user interface Yes, I know dd does EBCDIC. Yes, I know about ansitape. And, yes, I know I could hack up some scripts that would do the job, but I'd rather avoid it if possible. I don't know the details of these formats, and I've got better things to do than reinvent wheels. Surely somebody's handling IBMish tapes on a Sun or UNIX box. Please respond by e-mail. Thanks in advance. -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) It will be a great day when our schools have Martin Marietta Energy Systems all the money they need and the Air Force Workstation Support has to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber.
