I've read my BP2 v2.7 tape. I did it on a UNIX system using Johnny's
tape tools, and I have it a a .TPC file.
The tape read cleanly, but again I do not know where this came
from...it has a handwritten label indicating that it's BP2 v2.7, but it
may have actually been written from the corrupted tape image in the
trailing-edge archive. That archive has been around for long enough for
this to be a concern.
Is there anyone hanging out tonight who would like to assist me in
testing this?

I have located 9-track install tapes of BP2 v2.7 and PDP-11 C v1.2 in
my tape library. They are not original tapes; the labels are
hand-written (not by me) so I don't know their status. I will attempt
to recover them in the coming days.

So I'm back to hacking on RSX-11M-Plus again, this time in a more
leisurely fashion, and under simh on a laptop since I'm still stuck in
bed with the "Primus Plague" that I caught while at VCF.
I'm trying to install C and F77 from .tpc files in the trailing-edge
archive, and I'm failing miserably. I've attached them to tq0 and have
tried every possible combination of FORMAT=TPC/FORMAT=SIMH, use of
mtcvt23, etc and cannot get past "tape label error on MU0:" from
autoins.cmd.
Doing this under RSTS/E is a breeze, and I expected it to be even
easier under RSX.
I assume I'm not the first person to hit this problem. Before I dig
deeper and spend a lot of time, does anyone know what's going on?
