I might be able to read them. The catch is that I don't know what CDC called one of the formats I ran across. I bought some surplus tapes at what is now known as the Weird Stuff warehouse. I was going to use them for scratch, but I thought I'd better examine them first (some had CDC hubs). Sure enough, there was a deadstart dump tape, a blank-labelled tape, and two tapes that held some form of permanent file archive that was different from the archive tapes I had. A few heuristics later I was looking through some flight simulator support code... These tapes could have been PFDUMP tapes, or the could have been these RECLAIM tapes; I just don't know which is which. -- -- Jeff Woolsey Microtec Research, Inc +1 408 980-1300 woolsey@netcom.COM ...!amdcad!sun0!woolsey
