RDPEC will read and interpret a 9-channel digital tape from a PEC synchronous tape transport. Although it is designed primarily for reading EBCDIC Or binary records on IBM 360-compatible tapes, the program can also be used to determine record lengths, locate tape (EOF) marks, and check for tape errors on any odd parity, high density tape.

Minimum Hardware: PDP-12A; PEC 9-channel synchronous
