We have, but unfortunately do not distribute, such a utility. But for
general information, the idea is to comply with American National Standard
X3.27, level 3 or 4. (For best results, write level 3, read level 3 or 4;
the difference is spanned records.) This is a proper ``ANSI tape'', with
volume labels, file labels, and file data in standard formats. IBM operating
systems, VAX/VMS, and most other reasonable operating systems can read and
write such tapes. (Prime has some problems although they claim support.)
