[daip] aips tape question

[Christopher O'Dea]

Hello,

I'm trying to read fits files from an old exabyte tape.
Do you know what this error means?

drizzt> FITLD1: Reading tape drive number   1
drizzt> FITLD1: Reading tape at current position
drizzt> FITLD1: ERROR      5 READING FIRST TAPE RECORD
drizzt> FITLD1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes


thanks

Chris
