Hi managers
   I copied a file on to a magnetic tape on OpenVMS
and want to read the same on tru64(ES-40) using dd.
  on VMS
    mount mka300:
    copy adif.dat mka300:[]
   
  on tru64
    dd if=/dev/tape/tape0 ibs=512 of=adif.dat

 I am not getting any error with dd but when i open
the file it is having some junk , the original file is
a plain text file.
  I dont know the intricacies of dd( man dd is not
helpful on that) can anyone help me out on this.
  Thanks in advance.
