The 'ansitape' we have (straight from the archives) pruports to be able to WRITE tapes in EBCDIC with IBM headers (see modifiers 'e' and 'i'). Unfortunately, it says nothing about being able to *read* them. The man page does mention that the output of ansitape could be piped to 'dd' which can convert EBCDIC to ASCII (and vice versa). I admit that I've never had occasion to read/write IBM tapes, but it seems like "the wheel" may just need a little balancing if you're lucky. -- David Bernholdt bernhold@qtp.ufl.edu Quantum Theory Project bernhold@ufpine.bitnet University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 904/392 6365
