For 9 Track Magnetic Tape Controller and SCSI Tape Drives

We supply nearly 1 MByte of programs for PC's. This capable basic software package is included in the system at no additional cost. WILTEC programs will satisfy the most demanding application requirements. See the WILTEC exclusive features and optional programs highlighted below:

1. Interactive Screen Operation: Answer the questions on the screen, define the Source and Destination devices, file names, and operation desired to transfer files.

2. Command Line Utilities: Type a simple single command similar to a DOS command to transfer files from disk to tape, or tape to disk. Put several of these in a batch file to automate your situation. Use switches to stop rewinding tape between files for fast data transfers. Concatenate files on disk directly from tape without intermediate disk files to save disk space. Read files beyond double file marks. Do EBCDIC/ASCII translation. Add cr/lf record delimiters to fixed length and IBM variable length record formats.

3. Data Extraction Utility (DEX or 9 Track Express): When downloading Database Information from Tape to Disk, use this utility program to: Select which fields are to be downloaded, select which records are to be transferred (for example, inspect the zip code field and only transfer records which are names within a zip code range), output database formatted files for database manager or mailmerge program or for spreadsheet import. Unpack BCD numeric fields, or Zoned Decimal fields, or straight binary numeric fields and convert to ASCII numerics on disk. Do selective ASCII to EBCDIC translations on specific character fields without disturbing other,non-EBCDIC numeric fields.

4. Tape Dump Utility: Use this utility to look at a new incoming tape to determine block sizes, file lengths, whether labeled or unlabeled, sort out logical record structure. See hex and character display on split screen to tell all there is to know about a new tape just recieved. Do a high speed scan to get file size to ensure adequate disk space before beginning tape to disk data transfer.

5.Read UNIX TAR tapes: Even though UNIX filenames exceed the DOS 11 character limitation, read TAR files to disk. The TAR Utility truncates the file name to conform to DOS requirements, data is read to disk file as normally is the case.

6. Tape Duplication Utility: Duplicate tapes with either one or two magnetic tape drives on the system. Can also convert densities.

8. Labeled Tape: Write and read IBM/VSE, OBM OS/VS and ANSI labeled tapes.

9. Transfer Files With Large (Seismic) Blocks greater than 64K.

10. Security Erase tapes.

11. Tape to Printer operation, bypasses disk.

12. Appends tape files to existing disk file.

13. Backup and Restore: Easy to use command line utility. High speed, runs over 9 MB/min at 1600/3200 cpi, approximately 20 MB/min at 6250 cpi with your fast disk. Verify the backup tape after recording: Does an automatic file-by-file compare to be positive about error- free restore. Compatible with networks.

14. Programmer's Toolkit: Command the magnetic tape unit's read/write and tape motion control directly from your application program. Streamline and customize applications written in high level languages such as Cobol, Fortran, Pascal, C, Basic and others.

15. UNIX/XENIXCompatibility: The most popular Operating System in use with personal computers is MS/PC-DOS. CONTECH offers driver packages and utilities for other 386 operating systems including: Microport UNIX , Interactive UNIX , SCO UNIX , Everex Enix, SCO XENIX, and SUN OS V4.0.3 and later.
