Not a dumb question. I've seen threads on here before about this. I
think the bottom line is that universe on windows has no way to deal
with virtual tape, but universe on unix/linux does. So if you have
access to universe on unix, load your t-dumps there and then use
uvbackup to save/restore to the windows machine.
I might be wrong, but I seem to recall that universe can import a d3
file-save, and maybe the program that does that can read from a file.
As another alternative, If what you have is t-dumps, the t-dump
format is almost trivially simple. You could write a basic program
using OPENSEQ/READBLK to read from the virtual tape file and load the
data--your own t-load program.
Has anyone ever seen a virtual tape driver for windows? In the same
way that you can create a virtual disk in ram, has anyone ever seen a
program that creates a virtual tape from a disk file?

I'm still in the process of converting a D3 application to Universe
and I've T-Dumped a bunch of file dictionaries to a VTF and now I
just want to be able to T-LOAD them into the Universe Account.
I've tried setting the device to the VTF but it won't read the
file. What am I missing? I would appreciate any comments that you
are willing to share.
Thanks for your help.
