Abstract: Three programs are included. MTA is a one-page file-

structured OS/8 handler using the "simulated DECtape" format of

DECUS NO. 8-391. TAP is a two-page non file-structured handler for

ASCII files. Both require EAE and run on a 57A magtape controller with

two transports. MARK is a stand-alone program for formatting MTA

tapes. The write-up includes listings and describes several modifications

to the 57A necessary to run the software.
