.le;ETAPE 
 is a general-purpose program for handling EBCDIC tapes. It allows
the user to move around at will within the tape, send output to different
files, specify different blocksizes and record lengths for different files
on the tape, and combine multiple tape files into a single output file.
The capability of writing an EBCDIC tape from an ASCII file is also
included.

 ETAPE removes all trailing blanks from tape records after reading them.
On output, records will be blank padded and blocked to create fixed length
tape blocks. A switch can be set to turn off the EBCDIC translation and
allow the translation (or writing) of ASCII tapes.

 See README.TXT for installation instructions.
