To:	Users/copiers of the VAX SIG Symposium Tape, Fall 1983 (Las Vegas)

	This is another large tape, about 73500 blocks and it has again 
been split into two first line directories and two save sets VAX83C and 
VAX83D.  The tape was produced with the /INTERCHANGE switch which is 
documented in the VMS version 3.3 release notes.  To copy tape to tape 
use the following syntax:

	$ mount mta0: vax000
	$ initialize/density=1600 mta1: vax000
	$ mount mta1: vax000/blocksize=7952	!note the /BLOCK SWITCH
	$ copy mta0:*.*;* mta1:*.*;*
	$ dismount mta0:
	$ dismount mta1:
	!repeat the above for the second tape of the set

	There are three different save sets on the two tapes.  The first
tape contains VAX000 and VAX83C which load into [VAX000...] and [VAX83C...].  
The second tape contains a duplicate copy of VAX000 and VAX83D.  VAX83D
loads into [VAX83D...].  Loaded sizes are about 11400 for [VAX000...], 
43812 for [VAX83C...] and 29756 for [VAX83D...], assuming a disk with a 
cluster factor of one. 

	The recommended method of loading the tape is the following:

	$ delete [vax000...]*.*;*		!ignore warnings
	$ mount/foreign mta0:
	$ backup mta0:vax000 ddcu:[*...]	!ddcu: is device to load to
	$ backup mta0:vax83c ddcu:[*...]
	$ dismount mta0:			!and put on the second tape
	$ mount/foreign mta0:
	$ backup mta0:vax83d ddcu:[*...]

	0README.1ST provides information on the files in [VAX000...].

	COPYTREES.COM provides a convenient way to make tapes for distribution. 

	Please copy this note (which is on [VAX000] as 83CDMEMO.TXT) and 
forward it with outgoing tapes.
