I've got a few MAGSAV-format 9-track tapes here and need to retrieve files from them. Since I'm after ASCII data, I assume that I can simply check each file for strings of high-order bit-set ASCII and use that to extract (I am aware that PRIME used space/blank compression) the data. Still, the metadata that goes along with each file would be valuable. Does anyone here have layout or other information of MAGSAV tapes? The customer would be unwilling to spring $3K for the Unix MAGRST utility, so that's out even if it's still available. Thanks in advance, Chuck
