Dave,
If you are using the RSX11M+ V4.6 distribution tape, there is a copy of F77 (V5.4 I
think) on it already. Look in [246,246]. Also, that tape has DECnet on it as well that
works fine with Johnny's TCP/IP software.
Unfortunately, the DECnet on that tape is for non routing nodes, so that complicates
direct connection to HECnet. I have not found a RSX11M+ V4.6 routing DECNet distribution.
You are right on BP2 V2.7 being corrupted. The V2.5 is good though. On the PDP-11 the
latest one is corrupt but the earliest one is ok.

Yup...After testing several other images from the trailing-edge
archive, I'm finding the same sort of mess. I knew the BP2 v2.7 image
was trashed, but it looks like quite a few others are as well. The
f77_v5_4.tpc one is corrupt too.
What a mess.
Thanks for your help in diagnosing this.
At least some earlier releases are intact, but do you know if any of
those newer ones have been archived intact anywhere? Do you have them?

Uh-oh...That "HDR1" business looks like part of an ANSI tape label,
not a filename. What do you think?
Definitely a corrupted tape.
