Bob Baynes:

My staff at JPL-VLSI has gathered a small collection of tape utility programs
which run under VMS.  The menu-driven system provides the capability to read
and write (and convert between) TAR, EBCDIC and VMS formatted tapes, as well
as read raw data off unlabelled tapes at various block and record sizes.

A tape-to-tape copy proceudure also exists which is useful for making tapes
of varying densities.

This package is unsupported.  It works under VMS 4.5.  Most source is
available in either FORTRAN or VAX11-C.  

I can make it available to interested parties on a non-support basis.
There is on-line help for each function, but no detailed documentation.
