Tape Toolbox
Tape_Toolbox contains various routines to read, write, and manipulate tape drives from MATLAB under Windows. The enclosed executables were compiled with the Absoft compiler under Windows 2000 and have been used successfully with Matlab 6.0 and 6.1. I would expect them to work under Windows NT, and I welcome feedback about other versions of Windows.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For these routines to work under Windows 2000, you must turn off Removable Storage Manager. Right click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Services > Removable Storage.
Basic tape I/O is accomplished with topen.m, tclose.m, tread.m, twrite.m, trewind.m, and tskip.m. rew.m and skip.m, which call these routines, are convenient for tape positioning from the command line.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
