	Can anyone help with information on the structure of RT11 BUP
format magtapes. The sort of information I am after would be similar to
that given in Chapter 9 of the RT11 software support manual for 
standard RT11 format tapes i.e. the order of headers, data & eof records,
together with a description of the structure of each label record.

	The background to this is an attempt to read RT11 BUP (& normal
RT11 format) magtapes under unix on a Gould NP1. Maybe someone can help
directly with this aspect? (I am not worried about what to do with
disc image files once I get them on unix, I can cope with that, I just
need to know how to read the data)
