Hi,
I wonder if someone has been succesful repairing the corrupted tpc images of several
PDP-11 layered products that are (not)available in some sites (bitsavers and trailing-edge
come to memory). IIRC there was a kind of effort to fix whatever could be fixed (the BRU
format ones, specifically) reordering the mangled tape blocks in the image.
More specifically, I?m looking for an usable COBOL-81 compiler. The one which is not
corrupted (cobol_v4_4) is COBOL/C11, not COBOL 81, and even for hobbyist stuff, handling
COBOL-74 is a PITA?
I wrote a tool that can fix BRU tapes. I can't remember if the Cobol-81
tape is a BRU tape. If it is a DOS-11 tape, then you're in for a lot of
headaches...
