Tape imaging

Now, now, no need to be harsh. I daresay this format was intended for purposes somewhat different from .tap's and thus its tradeoffs were made differently. I invented a similar slightly different format myself, once (it was to represent tapes in a software-simulated tape drive; it was much like the format whose description I cut, above, except that each record had its length after as well as before it, to make backward skips easy - something not important and not worth spending storage space on if you're just trying to archive existing tapes' data). Quite possibly not at all, since it appears to have been intended for archiving readable tapes. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
