[net.unix-wizards] tape copying with one tape drive

whm.arizona@rand-relay@sri-unix.UUCP (08/13/83)

Does anybody have a program that will copy the contents of a tape onto
disk in some fashion that allows an identical tape to be constructed?
Anotherwords, a tape-to-tape copy program with intermediate storage on disk.

Sure, I wrote one a while ago.  We use it all the time to duplicate
tapes written on other systems (VMS, Tops-20, etc.).

I'll mail the source to anyone that wants it (it's pretty short).
