Foreign Tape Programs
>From chico!teklabs!tekmdp!steveg@Berkeley Tue Oct 6 16:32:26 1981
There is a program kicking around here called backup10 to read and
write PDP-10 format BACKUP tapes in interchange mode (BACKUP is a
predecessor to TOPS20 DUMPER). It needs to be hacked to ignore some
DUMPER/TOPS20 specific information that has been added to the format
(we have TOPS10 so we never got around to it). We run a version
derived from a V6 program written by Mike Accetta at CMU, so there
might be a newer version available from that source. We converted it
to run under V7 but I suspect that somebody at CMU has converted it to
the 4.1BSD.
We also have a program for reading ANSII format tapes [anstp(1)]. It
might be useful in coping with VMS as those are supposed to be ANSII,
but... [written by Steve McGeady (teklabs!tekmdp!stevenm) based on an
older one by Dave Kellerman]
Finally there is a program to read DOS format tapes (like those used by
RSTS) entitled pip.
If you want more details, I'll send you the manual pages (and source)
on request. If somebody on ARPANET wants the stuff, things will be a
bit more difficult. If there's enough demand, the stuff may show up on
a USENIX tape.

P.S. Would somebody get this to "plummer at ll-xn"?
