		MAGTAPE IMAGE COPY UTILITY
		--------------------------

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The utility described here was designed to allow image copying of
magtapes on systems which have only one tape drive.  This is done
by creating a disk file in a special, pseudo-image format and then
dumping it to a blank tape by reinvoking the utility.

Although designed for single drive systems, this utility could be
modified for use in multidrive installations.  Where multiple copies
of a tape are required this would be advantageous over a direct,
tape to tape copy in that the input drive could be used to output
another copy of the tape.
