That would only work for a Tops-20 labeled or ANSI labeled tape.
You want to run DUMPER, then
??? tape mt0:
??? rewind
??? print tty:
The tapes are not in TPC format, they are in TPS format (if the
extention is .TAP, .TPS or TPE)

What I'm trying to do is fill out the missing bits of the TOPS-20 4.1
DECnet Phase II system I have. I think tape image BB-D867E-BM.tap is the relevant kit.
When I attached it in TPC format I get some messages that look scary but perhaps they are
just confusing. I don't know how to ask TOPS-20 what it sees on the tape, though.
"dir mt0:" complains that someone else owns the tape.
