The RSTS/E backup format is highly compressed, with long block lengths. Also, filenames are encoded in an internal format. Your best bet is to dump the tape on a RSTS system and copy the files, using PIP, to an ANSI or DOS tape. These are relatively easy to read on Unix. Martin Minow decvax!minow

I have a magtape, 600 foot, with files created by PDP-11/34 RSTS/E V7 BACKUP utility. I would like to put those files on to a VAX-11/780 BSD 4.1c UNIX. I tried dd(1) and failed. Any ideas? Jim Trethewey (503) 681-5444
