     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.)
