[HECnet] installing LPs on RSX

[Lee Gleason]

    It doesn't take much of a program/script to strip off headers and 
trailers, or add them if required. I've had to do it when service bureaus 
didn't follow my instructions when I've had them read old tapes onto files.

  What does a dump of the first block look like?

  Yup...After testing several other images from the trailing-edge
archive, I'm finding the same sort of mess.  I knew the BP2 v2.7 image
was trashed, but it looks like quite a few others are as well.  The
f77_v5_4.tpc one is corrupt too.

  What a mess.

  Thanks for your help in diagnosing this.

  At least some earlier releases are intact, but do you know if any of
those newer ones have been archived intact anywhere?  Do you have them?
