The whole tape--I ran my tape cleaner at low speed and used a strip of 1/2" thick synthetic felt glued to a large PVC pipe fitting as the applicator. Needless to mention, it was on the supply side of the cleaner, or else the tape wouldn't have made it through. The lubrication lasted for two reads of the tape. I think I did a moldy tape of Noel's last year this way also and got the whole thing. > Are they online anywhere? I wouldn't mind taking a look at them. No, but I can put a copy up on my Box account. Do you want the original EBCDIC .tap image or the ASCII-translated files? --Chuck
