I endorse heartily the earlier rather laconic suggestion to use the DECUS VMS
utility VMSTPC, which will make an on-disk copy of any tape of any kind
whatsoever, then copy that on-disk version onto any {other, same} kind of tape.
No need to write your own.  And VMSTPC will {read,write} a tape at streaming
speeds.  I find it invaluable.
