BRUDIR is a program written whilst investigating the structure of BRU tapes.

It will produce a directory listing of a BRU Tapeset (up to some limit --
currently 10000 files) in a format related to that used by PIP.

It has been compiled using both F4P and F77.
-------------------------------------------

This is a pre-release version, being in a state of transition from a maximum of
1000 files with an internal table of the directory entries passed, which was
searched and each entry zeroed when used, which was intended to check the
synchronisation between UFS entries, headers and data. This has moved the table
to disk, and kept an index in core, a more sensible one will keep it in the
correct locations in a workfile.

History
-------
The original was by Richard Kirkman, on the LIBKIT tape, directory [7,16], or
(a slightly earlier version) Spring 82 RSX [312,16]. This version has a few
enhancements: FULL and LIST formats show total files and sizes for each
directory, and a .ODL build file is supplied, saving 47 blocks of task file by
putting the large data areas in NODSK'd space. There is also a bodge to get
the backup set date and time from the right place in a new BRU tape format.
