Sorry I missed the orginal discussion, but apparently 
Bruce Rossiter, Mike Khaw, and Carl Lowenstein where all talking about
the existance of a UNISIG Spring '87 SIG tape.  Well, I am the
Tape Librarian for the Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts Local
Users Group (CRIMLUG), and I know I got it thru the LUG tape distribution
tree.  Last time I looked, however, the DECUS Library didn't know how
to catalog it (it ain't for VMS, so where does it go?!).

Tape copy of all these odd tape formats can be a real bitch, unless you
have facilities like I do here at Raytheon.  We have this neat Unix
program (yeah, someone could do the same for VMS, but I'm glad I didn't
have to) that does a logical block copy of a tape.  Works fine, even copies
between different density tapes.  Anyways, if anyone really needs a place
to send for a tape copy, I'll handle it here.  Please mail me for details.

As a side note, Rich Salz, moderator of the USENET newsgroup MOD.SOURCES 
(renamed to COMP.SOURCES.UNIX), has kindly provided me with an archive tape of 
contributions made to that newsgroup from late 1984 to May of 1987.  
Thanks Rich!  The contributions are contained on one 2400 foot, 1600 bpi tape, \
written in UNIX TAR format.  If anyone is interested, I have a summary of
what's on the tape.
