I'm writing a program to transfer tape files to disk. I've got the hang of the tape header but I'm unsure (from looking at the annotated KERNAL code) whether the actual data is all in one block or not. Does anyone have any links to descriptions of how program files are laid out on tape?
I know that data files are structured differently, header record and then multiple data records. They should be simpler to handle.
