Eric,

   You hit the head right on the nail ;-)    All kidding aside, that is exactly it!

thanks to all for your input.

   Anyone
familiar with this format, I've got about 200 6" tapes that all say
 TDX Format or TDX Tape.

 I've found nothing about it through Google, these were used on a Vax 11/780
 under either VMS or UCB Unix 4.1, unclear as to which OS.    Standard TU78
 was used.    This is all I know so far...

 Is this some kind of compression format or something?   Any help on this
 would be greatly appreciated, thanks.  
 They may be tapes for a Sentry tester.  A development system was available
 for VMS and there was a program to read and write TDX tapes for exchanging
 data and programs with the tester.  If I remember correctly TDX stood for
 Tester Data eXchange.

 This may be a completely different TDX format.  Is there any other information
 on the labels?
