? Yes, there's a BACKUP/DUMPER program for VMS.? Works great for text,
but it mangles 36 bit binary files (e.g. .EXE, .REL, .UNV, etc).? Or at
least I've never found a way to get the files back from VMS to TOPS10
and have them still be functional.
? Reading the tape on TOPS10 with actual BACKUP seems like the best
plan, but thanks for the suggestions.

As far as I know here are programs on Vax Vms that also read Tops10
tapes; on the 10/20-Vax integration tools there was tenvax:
decsystem-10 to Vax to do something like that. Just google around and
you find something. Intergaration tools are on pdp10 archive.

? Thanks, but it's a TOPS10 tape that I want to read, on a simulated
KS10 with TOPS10.

Use the real vax Vms Ethernet clustered with a simh Vax, enable
Mscp disk and tape serving and you can use the Vms commands like

? Can someone point me to a program for VMS that will read a real,
physical, 9-track tape into a simh compatible TAP or TPC file??? I
was sure I already had one, but I can?t seem to find it anymore.
Thanks,
Bob
