I have a user who worked with a mag. tape using the VMS FLX utility a few years
ago.  Unfortunately, this utility is no longer available at our site so I am
trying, but with little success, to use the VMS EXCHANGE Utility to
download the data to disk.  The user swears that the tape was created with a
DOS-11 format (I've checked other formats also, RT-11, and files-11).  I
receive the identical errors each time.  I might add that this is my first
time using EXCHANGE so my problem may be easily solvable.

The resulting errors are as follows:

$! TAPE1 IS A LOGICAL NAME & A SYMBOL WHICH POINT TO THE ALLOCATED TAPE DRIVE
$!
$MOUNT/FOREIGN/OVERRIDE=(ACCESSIBILITY,IDENTIFICATION,OWNER_IDENTIFIER) TAPE1:
%MOUNT-I-WRITELOCK, volume is write locked
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED,  mounted on _HSC005$MUA0:
$EXCHANGE
   EXCHANGE>  MOUNT/FOREIGN TAPE1:
%EXCHANGE-W-DOS11_BADLABEL, volume on _$250$MUA0: has label with invalid format
-SYSTEM-F-PARITY, parity error
   EXCHANGE>  DIRECTORY TAPE1:/VOLUME=DOS11
%EXCHANGE-W-DOS11_BADLABEL, volume on _$250$MUA0: has label with invalid format
-SYSTEM-F-PARITY, parity error
   EXCHANGE>  DISMOUNT TAPE1:
%EXCHANGE-W-NOTMOUNTED, volume _HSC005$MUA0: has not been mounted on EXCHANGE
   EXCHANGE>  EXIT
$DISMOUNT TAPE1:
$DEALLOCATE TAPE1:
$EXIT

If anyone can offer a suggestion, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
