Last but not >least: SMP/E RECEIVE is not easy in this scenario. I worked at a place that kept some old Singer tape drives. But mostly I've worked at places that have had to send some tapes out to a service bureau to convert tapes from formats that they couldn't use. Most sites don't have every kind of tape drive, so they limit what people could send them or use the service bureau. This old process will continue when we have zero tape drives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
