Big brain FART today.  I have not one but 3 tape drives on the source
system.  A magstar 3570, a QIC 6382 (4 Gig) and a 3580.  The source tape is
the 3570 and the destination system only has a 2 GB QIC.  They are located
in the save room.  Well DUPTAP from 3570 to QIC 1.2 cartridge worked fine.
What was I thinking?  Not thinking is more like it.  I was first looking to
getting it to CD, then thought SNADS or FTP.  DUPTAP just was not
comprehended until one of the operators pulled the QIC out of the source
system.  DAH!

No need to be sad, Chris!

The layouts of the data are different, hence, it can't be done directly.

But you can CPYFRMTAP, as you say, to a PF, wrap that in a SAVF or do 
SNDNETF directly or SAVRSTOBJ (if you have ObjectConnect installed), then 
CPYTOTAP on the other side.

Maybe!

There could be tape incompatibility issues, however.
