Back when I was just knee-high to a VAX 11/730, I was
asked to teach a class in PASCAL programming, and since I
had never learned PASCAL, I thought I had better learn it
quick. So I bought Borland's Turbo PASCAL for my trusty DEC
Rainbow, and decided on making a complete rewrite of the
classic computer game STARTREK, specifically for the DEC
Rainbow. Ever since I first published it on several DEC
Rainbow Bullitin Boards, I soon learned I had my first big
software HIT. This PASCAL program was not written by me. It was written
by a High School Student named Terrance Chang. I commisioned
him to write this generic Magnetic tape COPY/LOG/VERIFY
program which can duplicate any magnetic tape volume to
another tape of the same or different medium. I was so
impressed by his ability and speed of this task, I still use
this program today, even though it was written in 1984. (In
order to link this program, you must also get the TAPESUBS
library from my Utilities
page.
