There is a utility on jazz named "TAPECOPY" which will allow you to
read the contents of a STORE format tape and create a disk file that
can be RESTOREd as if it were a tape.  The beauty of this is that
the receiver of the file does not need tohave any special software in
order to restore the tape image.  Just plain old STORE/RESTORE.

  We've been shipping our AppeerX software out using this procedure
with very good results.  The "Store To Disk" files that it creates may
be downloaded/ftp'd/email'd/etc.

Subject:        [HP3000-L] Copy tape to disk / disk to tape

I've got an urgent situation where I need to install some software on an
HP3000 in Scotland before the tomorrow afternoon and I'm for a way to get a
tape to them in time.

Is there a downloadable utility that will copy a tape to disk and disk to
tape? If so, I should be able to copy the disk file to the HP3000 in
Scotland and have them use  the utility to create a tape.
