I happen to have it on mag tape. For FTPing the saveset, a lot depends on the TCP/IP package running under VMS. We have CMU/TEK and TGV MULTINET and the FTP has a file type command used to pass VMS specific information. I believe the command is TYPE IMAGE (MULTINET) or SET TYPE IMAGE (CMU/TEK) will work from the FTP> prompt. I haven't actually tried the ICON saveset, but I've used it successfully between my hosts.
