I have a Unix system that has been trashed.  The disk and tape drives
are gone.  The Unix person wants to read his tapes on my IBM 3420
tape drives to a VM minidisk and from there FTP the files to his
Unix system.  It all works except for one item: his tapes are blocked
at 64k and the FILEDEF maximum is 32K.  So how do I use MOVEFILE or
is there some other utility to read a non-IBM tape to disk?

Thanks,
Hank
