>> Does anyone know what the ASAVE format is? ASAVE is a disc-lu backup utility which writes track-for-track images of an HP1000 disc logical unit to tape. The format is used ONLY by the HP1000. >> I've got an HP3000 tape that we're supposed to read >> but I'd like to know what the format is. An HP3000 tape will not be in ASAVE format. It could have been written by the 3000's FCOPY utility, in which case there is only one way to read it on the 1000 - with a simple FMGR 'STore', or CI 'COpy' command. This will only work if the FCOPY tape was written as 'unlabeled' and 'unblocked' (meaning one record per block). There may be a utility in the HP1000 Users Group which would help with blocked and labeled tapes. I'm not sure about the format from other HP3000 utilities (I'm an HP1000/9000 type). >> Overworked graduate student @ The Cooper Union, NY, NY 10003 Well, aren't ALL grad students highly overworked !!
