There seems to be some confusion on the subject of the utility called 
both DUMPER-32 and SI_DUMPER; this is the program for VMS that reads 
TOPS10 and TOPS20 system save tapes (BACKUP and DUMPER).

Although Stevens Institute in Hoboken wrote the utility for Digital, 
there is no ongoing support or maintenance agreement with Stevens; 
they were very good about fixing bugs during the first year or so 
that SI_DUMPER was in the world, and I thank then for doing so.

Until now, the correct repository for sending bug fixes was in fact 
myself, here at DEC in Marlboro.  However the marketing side of the 
10/20 business goes away in 15 calendar days, although the tools 
function is being transitioned to another group in Digital.  I have 
not finalized the plans for this however, and am therefore hesitant to 
publically give their name and address at this time.

If you have bug fixes at the moment, then it is best to send them to 
me, and I will take care of getting them moved to the new group.  I 
will also  post a note here when the plans are firm for the transition 
of the entire tools clearinghouse.
