hang your tape on your TU78, mount is with /FOREIGN. You might have to write a program using to read it. Is your tape SL (standard labelled), NL (non labelled) or AL (Ascii labelled)? You might have to do extra work depending on that. For example, you will have to use a runtime library routine to translate from EBCDIC to ASCII. Good luck. I will have to do it soon, so please keep in touch. Supposedly there are some programs on the VAX SIG tapes which will do this. If I remember right, CWRU folks donated some software at the last DECUS in Miami Beach...
