FYI: Since the tape you are creating is meant for VM/370 and not z/VM (true? yes?), you might want to create it in DUMP format instead. As far as I know, VM/370 cannot read VMFPLC2 formatted tapes. Refer to the -t option for more information.
The output from the earlier message, is from the vmfplc2 program on my Linux system,
[...]
it is reading the tape file created by VMFPLC2 on my VM/370 CE system.
Yeah, Dave already indirectly informed me that VM/370 CE apparently now supports VMFPLC2 too. I wasn't aware of that. I guess I'm behind the times. Sorry.
The n-pack released by Bob Abeles has always had a VMFPLC2 but it doesn't always play well with very recent versions. It does seem to work fine with the VMFPLC2 included with Hercules.
