Tape mapping utility for CMS Dave Elbon University of Kentucky TapeMap 3.066 Distribution February 1995 This is TapeMap. TapeMap can tell you a lot of things about a tape. Like density, labels, block sizes, etc. My goal was to take any tape, in an unknown format, and describe it. We use this for things like identifying mysterious tapes we receive from other installations and identifying the even more mysterious tapes we get from IBM. TapeMap recognizes VMFPLC2 and TAPE (including the new larger block sizes), SPTAPE, and other formats. It describes the files, and estimates the length of the tape used. We run TapeMap under VM/ESA 2.2 and CMS 8. (We are no longer running or distributing the OS version.) TapeMap supports 2400 and 3420-type drives under CMS and OS. Under CMS 3410, 3430, 3480, 3490, 8809, and 9347 other drives are supported also. We have only 3420 and 3480 drives; support for other types is less thoroughly tested. Under CMS unrecognized device types are treated as if they were a 3420. The source, user's manual, and everything you need should be here. More information is contained in INSTALL NOTES. UPDATE FILE lists the changes and fixes. If you have any problems, have any suggestions, or make any enhancements please let me know. There is, as always, no warranty, express or implied.
