MM/PC Applications: Read VAX VMS backup tapes on a PC

With MMPC, any PC with a suitable tape drive and SCSI adapter can read VAX VMS backup tapes. Thus, tapes may be converted to PC compatible files, while retaining VMS type file names, version numbers and sub-directories. The conversion process is extremely simple, and user does not need to know any details about the tape density, or the block size used. All save sets may be read in a single transaction, and it is thus possible to use tape to interchange data between VAX systems and PCs.
