DITTO has a function to extract *CMS files* from a DDR tape. This way you
can obviously read a 3380 DDR and write the CMS files to for example 3390s.
I never tried it but the online help I just consulted for re-verification
seems it is just perfect. But, not surprisingly: if you have a fullapck
DDR, you need to know the start cylinder of the minidisk to extract the CMS
files from ("* *" is allowed for file selection).
