(FASTCOPY provides the 4K PDP-12 user with an efficient means for copying data stored on LINCtape. It operates properly with tapes containing any number of blocks and with blocks of up to 3584 (7000 octal) words. The program adjusts itself to copy the largest group of blocks that will fit in 4K at one time. For example, 256 word blocks are copied in groups of 14(10). The program also operates correctly on groups of blocks that extend across the transition from negative to positive block numbers.
