Description
A database for IBM mainframes, published by Pavel Sorensen in 2010.
Provenance
Deposited by Rushhaven University Library, which had held it unread for years. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
