PD6:<UNIX-C.TAPES>
   Programs to manipulate magnetic tapes.  This includes reading foreign
   formats, handling archive tapes, and handling backup and restore tasks.

   ABCD.TAR-Z
       Automatic Backup Copy Daemon.  Copies files using cp or rcp to a
       backup file system.
       Contributor: Rich Burridge <[email protected]>
   AFIO.TAR-Z
       A "cpio" replacement which claims to be faster and able to deal
       with corrupted input.
       Contributor: Mark Brukhartz <[email protected]>
   ANSITAPE.TAR-Z
       A program to read and write ANSI standard labeled tapes.  Has
       billions and billions of options.  Includes switches to easily
       read and write tapes for VMS, RSTS, RSX-11.
       Contributor: Dave Curry <[email protected]>
   ARCH.TAR-Z
       A set of programs to let users archive and unarchive files to tape
       in a batch-like environment.  Runs under 4.xBSD, System V, Xenix.
       Contributor: Al Gaspar <[email protected]>
   BACKUP.TAR-Z
       A program to handle running backups.  It reads a configuration
       file to see what needs to be dumped, and then runs dump(8) to
       do it.  Handles multiple tapes, multiple dumps on one tape,
       labeling tapes to be sure the right tape is used, and multiple
       sets of dump tapes.  Understands how to use remote tape drives.
       It currently runs on 4.3BSD, Gould UTX/2.0, and SunOS 3.4.  It
       would take a LOT of work to make it run under System V unless
       your System V has Berkeley pseudo-ttys.
       Contributor: Dave Curry <[email protected]>
   BACKUPS.TAR-Z
       Another backup utility, also for Berkeley UNIX.  This program also
       tries to "quietize" the file system before dumping it.
       Contributor: Scooter Morris <[email protected]>
   BRU.TAR-Z
       Backup and restore utility.  Handles full and incremental dumps.
       Contributor: Arnold Robbins <[email protected]>
   CMSTAPE.TAR-Z
       A program to read and write IBM CMS "tapedump" tapes on UNIX.
       Contributor: Alan Croswell <[email protected]>
   COPYTAPE.TAR-Z
       Program to duplicate non-structured magnetic tapes on systems with
       only one tape drive.
       Contributor: David S. Hayes <[email protected]>
   CPIO.C
       Public domain program to read "cpio" format tapes.

       with much greater throughput.
       Contributor: Tapani Lindgren <[email protected]>
   EXABYTE-TOC.TAR-Z
       A program which allows you to write a table of contents onto the

       disturbing the other contents of the tape.
       Contributor: Matt Landau <[email protected]>
   FIXCPIO.TAR-Z
       A program to repair damaged "cpio -c" archives.
       Contributor: Dave Brower <[email protected]>
   FIXTAR.TAR-Z
       A program to remove the leading '/' from path names on a tar tape

   MAKEDDTAPE.TAR-Z
       A program which reads a tape and produces a shell script to read
       the tape in with "dd".  Handles changing record lengths, block
       sizes, and so on.  Useful for reading unlabeled tapes.
       Contributor: Dave Curry <[email protected]>
   MDUMP.TAR-Z
       Another program for doing full and incremental dumps.  This one
       works on local and remote tape drives.
       Contributor: Paul Pomes <[email protected]>
   MULTIVOL.TAR-Z
       Multi-volume tape utility.  Splits its input across multiple tapes.
       Works on both 4.xBSD and System V.
       Contributor: Tony O'Hagan <[email protected]>
   PAX.TAR-Z
       Reads and writes "tar" and "cpio" formats, both traditional and
       IEEE 1003.1 (POSIX) extended.  Handles multi-volume archives and
       automatically determines format while reading.  Has "tar", "cpio",

       Library routines to handle reading tapes from remote tape drives
       through the network for 4.2BSD UNIX.  Also includes diffs to "tar"
       and "dd" to let them work remotely.
       Contributor: Arnold Robbins <[email protected]>
   TAPETEST.TAR-Z
       A program to test magnetic tapes by writing a test pattern and then
       reading it back.  Runs under V7, 2.8BSD.
       Contributor: John Woods <[email protected]>
