I have been trying unsucessfully to read my 3 DECUS RT-11 tapes on our VMS system with the EXCHANGE utility. 1) Is this supposed to work? 2) Does anyone have a proc file to do this and would he/she send it to me?

I used to read RT-11 diskettes on a 780 using PIP. Don't know if it will read RT-11 tapes though. Also, doesn't RT-11 writes an ANSI format tape? ...

EXCHANGE should read RT-11 format tapes just fine. Try something like: EXCHANGE> MOUNT/VOLUME_FORMAT=RT11 MSA0: EXCHANGE> COPY MSA0:*.* DRA0: (Substitute whatever device names you have on your particular system, of course). PIP will probably do it, too, except since VMS V4, RSX has been a layered product, and lots of people don't have it. --Pat.
