VMSTPC By Brian Nelson This area is a rewrite of the BIGTPC utility by Brian Nelson for native mode VMS. BIGTPC basically takes any format tape and copies its' contents onto a disk container file, or copies the container file to a tape. It is a PRELIMINARY effort but tries to copy the major advantage on RSX of BIGTPC, namely, that it is AST driven and so tends to keep lots of outstanding I/O on tapes (and disk) to keep the tape moving. The idea is to copy tapes on sites with disk space but only one drive, or to make copies faster than most any tape to tape method could. VMSTPC does not have the baroque switch set of BIGTPC but does its' major job. Also some things need to be set externally (like density). The program has not had a whole lot of testing but is presented in the hope it may prove useful.
