Brat is an unsupported utility that should probably be considered obsolete
due to Ignite-UX, which is available for download from:

One item in the "Why MPE is better than Unix" file is that while I've had the
capability to make a bootable MPE recovery tape since my first MPE days (1982
MPE/V :SYSDUMP), HPUX only just attained a similar capability this year, 15+
years after MPE.
