 Our 3.1 upgrade (which came with our UWS 2.0 stuff for our new
DECStation 3100s) came on a TK50 tape. Maybe they gave priority to new
machines for some reason (we also got a server upgrade tape to let
Vaxen serve DS3100's, so I assume the 3.1 tape isn't essential for
DS3100 customers).

 The Vax tape has 3 almost-empty tar archives, one normal tar archive,
and then 17 compressed tar archives. Should be fairly easy to copy
with dd and a script.

 Which brings up a question: can someone mail me a list of what the
3.1 upgrade fixes (should anyone have such a list)? Our 3.1 upgrade
came with zero instructions or documentation, and I'd like to find out
what it fixed and how to install it.

[There's no list on the tape itself; I checked. That's how I found out
 what all the tape files were :-).]
