Description Jeffrey H. Johnson 2006-01-22 08:00:15 UTC 
Add cmstape while I'm at it -- also searched google but it seems 1.1 is
the latest version existing.  Might be useful for hercules emulator users.

cmstape is a program to read and write IBM CMS "tapedump" tapes on UNIX.

cmstape reads and writes either a tape device or a file that has been
read off a tape by readtape(1).  (That is, a file that contains a 2-byte
VAX order (little-endian) tape block size before each data block).  This 
allows you to get the files off a tape with readtape(1) and transfer 
them over the network to the system where they will actually be extracted.  
You can also do the opposite:  create a tape dump file, transfer it over
the network, and write it to a tape device with writetape(1).

When writing a tape dump under UNIX, file names preceded by -Fnn cause
those files to be written in fixed instead of the default variable for-
mat. If nn is specified, it will be used for the record length, other-
wise 80 is assumed.  Under CMS, this switch is ignored;  the actual
record length and format maintained by the filesystem are used.

Take.
Comment 2 Aaron Dalton freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2006-05-05 06:57:28 UTC 
I apologize for the delayed response.  Between the ports freeze and 
final exams, I have been overwhelmed.

The ports you submitted are fine except for 2 issues:
1) We prefer unified diffs to context diffs (diff -ruN).  Could you 
change your patch files accordingly?
2) More importantly, the Makefiles do not honour the host system's CFLAGS.

Please make the minor adjustments necessary and then resubmit the 
updated shars.  DO NOT OPEN A NEW PR!  Simply replying to this email 
should be sufficient.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do 
not hesitate to contact me.
