Re: "Waterloo Tapes" in H390-VM group's Files area
Hi, Dave, I saw that link to the VMSHARE stuff about those problems with PETAPE on newer VM versions -- a very good find! Do we have source code for PETAPE? IIRC, when PETAPE first appeared, it was

Re: "Waterloo Tapes" in H390-VM group's Files area
