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.

cpytap manipulates a .tap magtape container file used by SIMH. It copies an
|
|
existing .tap file to a newly created .tap while modifying its file level
|
|
contents. While performing the copy, individual files may be skipped or
|
|
replaced and new files may be inserted at specified positions or appended
|
|
after the last source file has been copied. For files which are copied between
|
|
the source and destination tapes, the internal record structure of each file
|
|
is maintained. Replacement or inserted/appended files may only be written
|
|
with a specified maximum record size.
|
|
|
|
cpytap is invoked by:
|
|
|
|
cpytap src dst [-r len] [-I n,file] [-R n,file] [-S n] [-A file]
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
|
|
-r len Max record size to be used when writing new files to the
|
|
destination tape. (1 <= len <= 65536, default 10240).
|
|
There may be multiple "-r" switches on the command line.
|
|
When a "-r" switch is specified, it takes effect on all
|
|
following editing commands.
|
|
|
|
-I n,file Insert the specified file before file n of the source tape
|
|
|
|
-R n,file Replace file n of the source tape with the specified file
|
|
|
|
-S n Skip file n of the source tape
|
|
|
|
-A file Append the specified fie after all the files on the source
|
|
tape have been copied to the destination tape.
|
|
|
|
Files on the source tape are numbered 1 - n.
|
|
|
|
When multiple -I commands reference the same source tape file or there are
|
|
multiple -A commands, the files will be written to the destination tape in
|
|
the order specified on the command line. If a -R command and a -I command
|
|
reference the same source tape file, the -R file will be written first
|
|
followed by the -I file(s).
|
|
|
|
The editing control tables are pre-built into the executable. Edit commands
|
|
may be issued for files 1 - 100, subsequent files will just be copied from
|
|
source to destination. There may be up to 20 -I commands for each source tape
|
|
file and up to 20 -A commands.
