I've been on the receiving end of this before--several times. Damned
inconsiderate programmers with no thoughts of the future. Undocumented

Right now, I'm puzzling over a QIC tape that was apparently made early
on using Sytos, but the header doesn't match any version of Sytos that
I've seen. Wonderful.
