Morning,

I am using enblock to creat= e tap files from tar files.

Was a program ever= written to convert tap files to tar files or
a Linux program tha= t could read tap files?

I also see that writing to= a tap file from Unix the size increases
when writing multiple fi= les however when writing 1 file to the tap
file "tar cv0 ...= " the tap file still remains at its larger size from the
pre= vious larger writes. Is this what is expected?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Questions like this are probably bett= er suited to the SIMH mailing list. https://groups.io/g/simh

That being said, is there a reason you're bothering to convert to tap=20 format?=C2=A0 Modern versions of SIMH can do "attach [file] -f tar [de= vice]"=20 to directly attach a tar file to a tape device.
