	We have entered into DEC's CSLG program, and are now receiving
DEC software on either TK50 or CD.  We have a VAXstation running VMS
that has 2 CD drives on it, and we also have a VAX 6350 running VMS that
has a TK50 drive.  Unfortunately, our Ultrix system is an 8650 which has
only a TU81.

	To be useful on Ultrix, the distribution kits have to be
readable by the 'setld' utility.  Is there some utility for VMS that can
be used to read a setld tape (TK50) and create another setld tape
(either TK50 or "regular" magtape)?  Alternatively, can the setld TK50's
be copied onto the VMS 6350 and then DECnet-copied or FTPed to the
Ultrix system (for installation or creation of a setld magtape)?

	I realize that there are various hardware solutions to this
(TK50 on the 8650, Ultrix workstation with TK50 drive, etc), but a
simple software solution would be preferred at this point.

	Thanks in advance for any information.
