How to to extract a ".tap" file? What tools?
I found http://man.cat-v.org/unix-1st/1/tap manual but I haven't found
corresponding tool (even in tuhs source code archive).
The file I am trying to extract is
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/BSD/BSD4.1_bootable.tap.gz (12
MB). I can view some of the plain text in it.
I tried historical ar (which I have used for some other 1970's images),
restore, and tar. file(1) says it is a "Maple help database".

The tool is called "tp".

sorry, my previous email was wrong, tap isn't the same as tp.
AncientFS has a tap driver for FUSE:
https://github.com/macfuse/macfuse/tree/master/filesystems/unixfs/ancientfs
- you might be able to use that directly or use it to get information
about the format. I could swear I found a copy of the original archive
program for it at some point, but I don't remember where.

I forgot that I asked this before and was answered off-list pointing to
a non-existent URL which I found archived elsewhere:
http://marc.info/?l=classiccmp&m=104968973930145
I may try some of this.

Have a look in http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Tools/Tapes/
at the tp tools. I know I wrote some C programs to deal with tap, but on the road so
can't see exactly where I put them.
Cheers, Warren
