The Question is: We have a VAX 11/785 computer which we have been using since 1979. It has been upgraded several times and is presently running under VMS 5.3 . This license will expire at the end of February 1998. We are trying to move everything to other systems. We have many 9 track magnetic tapes that have to be copied to 8mm to be compatible with these systems. We do not want to get a new operating system because our software would have to be upgraded and we do not have time to do this. I sent this message before, but did not receive an answer. The mail system may have been down over the holidays. I would appreciate any information you could give. The Answer is : This question is beyond the scope of Wizards -- this requires the determination of the necessary file formats for the input and for the final data, as well as the availability of devices and controllers on this or other systems to perform the data transfer. The DIGITAL Services organization can assist you in performing the transfer of your current tapes to 4mm, 8mm, DLT, or to CD-ROM media, and can also transfer the data to the target format for you.
