Yup...After testing several other images from the trailing-edge

was trashed, but it looks like quite a few others are as well. The

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those newer ones have been archived intact anywhere?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?
I have most of them, but not BP2 V2.7. :-(
I've also written a tool that can repair those broken tapes if they are
in BRU format. Unfortunately, a few (including the BP2 tape) are in DOS
format, and that format is much more difficult to repair.

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