MTDUMP

     MTDUMP will produce a  hexadecimal  and  character  dump  of  any
number of physical blocks on a tape.

The user must first MOUNT the tape with the FOREIGN qualifier, e.g.  :

$ MOUNT/FOREIGN MTA1:

To run the program:

$ RUN VLB:MTDUMP

     The user will then  be  prompted  for  certain  parameters.   The
default  values of these parameters are indicated in brackets [].  The
defaulting mechanism is identical to that used by MTANAL.  The prompts
are the following:

File name for listing [MTDUMP.LIS] =
Tape Unit (ddcn:) =
Number of files to be skipped [0] =
Number of blocks to be skipped [0] =
Number of blocks to be dumped [32768] =
Title [optional] =
Translate from EBCDIC [no]?

     The dumping stops when, either the number of blocks specified  by
the  user  have  been processed, the end of the tape has been detected
(two consecutive file marks), or an error condition has occurred.
