I think this might be the older VMFPLC (not VMFPLC2) format, used by IBM
for software distribution and other things.  The format seems fairly
simple: Five character block header (x'02' 'CMS' 'N' or '0'), 800 bytes
of contents.  First block is the FST for the file.

Old VMFPLC may be just CMS TAPE DUMP under the covers.
