Christopher,
some questions to your program:
what does the statement do:
read(infile,&reclen,4); ?
this syntax does not conform to UNIX (POSIX) read (e.g. HP/UX):
ssize_t read(int filedes, void *buf, size_t nbyte);
Are these ".tap" files some kind of a standard format?
Background: I got some files which are claiming to be in a ".tap"
format and I would like to write the to tape!
If these ".tap" files are those used by simh, then the format is
really fairly simple, and documented here.
