The top and second level Makefiles that build the whole project by
recursing into all their subdirectories had implemented these by long
lists of invocations and then repeated these for all the all, clean,
install, uninstall targets. There were mistakes such as some
subdirectories not being cleaned.
Introduce SUBDIRS variables instead and have the targets loop over those
and additionally implement the clean, install, uninstall targets with a
single rule.
rawtap Allows extract, create and append operations on .tap files.
cpytap Copies a .tap file to a new .tap file while allowing file level edits; skip file, replace file,
append files and insert files. Any files copied from the original source .tap will have
their internal record structure maintained.
cosy COSY is the compressed format used by the CDC1700. This program allows for
extraction of all files from an archive and the creation of a new archive. It assumes
that you would have used raw tap about to have extracted the COSY file from a
tape.
dbtap Utility to read, write and list .tap containers written in the DOS/BATCH-11 format. It
understands ascii and binary modes and can be used to transfer files in and out of
most PDP-11 operating systems (not sure about RSTS/E), early VMS and early
TOPS-10 systems.
