Harold, After looking back through the archives, it seems these were created with Bloktap which doesn¡¯t work on R6. Dave ? ? Just curiosity I realize there seems to be some heritage involved in all of this, but does anyone know which tool creates the garbage? Is there a tool that removes the unexpected content from the AWS tape file?

From what I remember, and it's a fuzzy memory, the process was that each site that received a copy agreed to make two copies for other sites. So most sites had a copy of the tape.
I was scanning through the WATERLOO tapes which I got from here. WATERLOO2 and WATERLOO6 end with errors. Does any one have an alternate source for these?
