     The tape transfer procedure is designed to provide the user
with a nearly effortless method of transferring files from the VAX
to the IBM.  Only ASCII source or print files can be transfered.
The procedure uses AVATU for creating IBM readable tapes.  As part of
the process a JCL file containing all the infomation the IBM needs
to get the files off the tape is created and is placed as the first
file on each tape.  This enables the IBM to read the tape without
the operator having to write special JCL to get the files off.

     Using the procedure is simple.  Select whether you want
to write or read a tape (reading is somewhat primative right now).
If you want to write a tape, you have three additional options.
The files to be transfered to the IBM can be transfered for printing
(in which case they are not saved after printing), they can be
transfered as individually named IBM files, or they can be included
as part of an IBM Partitioned Data Set (PDS).  If you chose the 
partitioned data set option, you will have to enter an IBM PDS name.  
Consult the IBM system manager if you are not sure what the PDS name 
should be.

     The procedure will ask you next for file names to transfer.  At
this prompt a simple carriage return will terminate further prompts
and the tape will get made.  You can also enter any existing VMS file
name including wildcards.  For example, you could enter *.LIS at the
prompt to place all listing files on the tape.  As each file is
processed for inclusion on the tape, a message will appear on the
VT100 terminal specifying the file being processed.  In the event
that a file name is entered which does not exist, a warning message
will appear and the procedure will prompt again for another name.
Whey you finally type just a return at this prompt, the specified
files will be written to the tape and the tape will be dismounted.
Physically remove the tape from the tape drive, give the tape to the
IBM operator and the tape will be transfered to your IBM account.
