Subject: Re: ANSI tapes
I hope this will help with the problem of Prime machines having
trouble
reading your distribution tapes...
Attached is a program written in Fortran-66 which will read the
variable
record length ANSI tapes on a Prime computer. Since Fortran-66 is
provided
with all Prime machines, all Prime customers should be able to compile
and
run it.
I have only briefly tested it, but it appears to work as advertised.
Much
thatnks should go to the Prime New York office. Ron Couch, a senior
analyst
there wrote it, and Dave Tichane provided me with a copy to send to you.
In order to help you out, I am willing to send a (paper) listing of it
to
anyone who needs it. Please send a request to LSM.DUNCAN at DECMARLBORO,
Prime X.MAIL DUNCAN -ON EN.C6, or U.S. mail to:
Jeff Duncan
Prime COmputer Inc.
492 Old Connecticut Path
Framingham, Ma. 01701
MS 21-02
I hope this new program will help out the many Prime people who have
had
difficulty with your tapes.
Jeff
