Description Jeffrey H. Johnson 2006-01-22 08:50:02 UTC 
While adding ports for applications that I use from the unix-c archive,
I couldn't help but believe a more up to date version of ANSITAPE might
exist, but after Googling I couldn't find one - only Solaris patches.

Good to have around, esp. with utilities like copytape already in ports.

Ansitape reads from or writes to a magnetic tape in ANSI labelled tape
format, which is a useful format for exchange of ASCII character files
with non-UNIX sites.  The transfer of binary files is supported in the
sense that the program will let you write them on the tape.

Ansitape supports the standard defined in ANSI X3.27-1978, Magnetic
Tape Labels and File Structure for Information Interchange. Only 
System levels 1, 2, and 3 are supported, System level 4 (spanned records)
is not supported.  

In addition, special options have been included to read and write tapes 
for RT-11, RSTS, RSX, and VMS systems, which use a slightly modified 
version of the standard.

Take.
Comment 2 Aaron Dalton freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2006-05-05 06:58:09 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.
