I was thinking to write a version of dumprest for my LINCtape drives, 
but since my PDP-12 isn't that far along yet, I haven't gotten to it.

There seem to be a couple of formats that were frequently used, and a 
third lesser used format.  One of the issues is that you have to go into 
maintenance mode, as far as I can tell, to determine the size of the 
block you just read into memory.
