I don't have to right disk images to disk in VMS too often. ;) No. This is what I've done to write tape images to tapes: $ INIT/ERASE MUA0: "" $ MOUNT/FOREIGN/BLOCK=512 MUA0: $ COPY <filename> MUA0: $ DISMOUNT/UNLOAD MUA0: Can anyone (Brian S?) say if this will work with disk as the destination device as well? I'd guess yes, but I haven't done it myself, at least not recently enough that I remember. Destination being a disk? Yes. $ MOUNT/FOREIGN DUA0: $ COPY <filename> DUA0: $ DISMOUNT DUA0: $ MOUNT [/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION] [/SYSTEM] DUA0: [label] The [] items are optional depending upon what you will do with the drive after writing the image to it. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
