We have several machines here. One of them puts out 6250tapes in
a standard oil industry format that can't be read by vms.
I've been told that this is because the the tapes arent vms intialized.
I can transfer 1600 ttapes. I can also read the tapes on an ibm (cms).
But vms just finds 0 length records. Any ideas anyone?
