Just finished reading a 9 track tape made with IBM CMS in its dumpfile format.
Why on earth--or might I say, what idiot--designed this format? First the file data in a
series of records, *then* the file name and other metadata.
Anyone know of a DOS/Windows/Unix utility to unravel one of these things? I don't
feel too much like coding for a single tape.
Use VM/370 under Hercules to read in the dumpfile tape and write it back out in
either AWS or HET format.
