[daip] problems with tapedrive

[Joerg-Uwe Pott]

hi, 
because our dat tape drive is installed on a different computer without 
aips-access, i want to copy the raw data with the "dd" comand directly onto 
the harddisc. i tried blocksize 2880, and also  the standards 512 and 10k. 
but always i got the errormessage "wrong blocksize". what can i do? or can 
you explain me the standard way how to copy raw data sets, written with aips 
from the tape to the data area?

best regards
juwe pott
