Abstract: MAG10 is a PDP8e utility program which uses the command
decoder to specify commands to manipulate and transfer files
between the MTA0: or MTA1: and OS8 devices. The MAGtape files
have associated file headers permitting access of particular files by name.
Using the 9-track tape mode, it uses either the TC58 or TM8e MAGtape
controllers for the TU20-10 drives. The TC58 may be used with an OS8
system which is "built" for the TM8e MAGtape devices. That is, MAG10
has its own MAGtape handler but uses the fact that MTA0: and MTA1:
exist in OS8 to permit the names of the drives to be specified to the
command decoder.

Note: TM8e not debugged yet
