This program is useful in conjunction with DIAL-MS tapes using DEC's new LINCtape format of 1600 blocks. It provides facilities for storing and retrieving source and binary files on these tapes (existing software would not store above block 778(8)). Also provided is an option to duplicate entire (1600(8) block) LINCtapes. PIP-1600 can reference the DIAL-MS work area for either source mode input or output. PIP-1600 effectively doubles the storage area on DIAL LINCtapes.
