where RDAFFILE is the name of the RDAF-format file without any extensions. This will create a disk file with a ".GO" extension which will be identical in format to the files stored on IUE Guest Observer tapes.
If you wish to convert RDAF-format disk files to GO format tape files, use the program IUETAPE. The procedure is:
| IMAGET | The filename of the input RDAF file. A GO filename (including extension) may also be specified. | |
| UNIT | Tape drive unit number (VMS) or device name (UNIX). | |
| owlog | The value of this optional parameter depends on the operating system: | |
| VMS | The logical name of the tape drive, needed only if the input files are already in GO format. Note that one can easily copy GO files to tape without using IUETAPE. | |
| UNIX | If present, the tape will be overwritten at the current tape position. The actual value of this parameter is unimportant. | |
This program writes files to tape starting at the position of the current end-of-tape mark, unless the third parameter is specified on UNIX machines.
