Hi Kent,
re:
> Does someone know the file equation to write a store file to DLT tape?

You probably don't want to FCOPY a STORE-to-disk file to tape via FCOPY.
(The resulting tape would have to be FCOPY'd back to disk, and then restored
from the disk file later.)

There are a couple of free utilities out there that will create a STORE-format
tape from a STORE-to-disk file.  One is our free TAPECOPY from
http://www.allegro.com/software/hp3000/allegro.html#TAPECOPY

However, all the free programs have a potentially serious limitation:
they can't create an output tape with records larger than about 63 KB,
and your STORE-to-disk files might have a larger "record size" than that.
If that happens, you may want to talk to us about our TAPEDISK or X-OVER 
products, which can handle such files.

Stan
