program performs two functions. It (1)
sorts a single file, which must be stored
on magnetic tape, to a user-specified
sequence, and (~ merges from two to five
sorted tape files into one sorted tape
file. The merging facility can also be
used to sequence-check and/or reblock a
single file while copying it.

Utility programs for Model 20 systems with
magnetic tape equipment. Four of these

magnetic tape, from one tape to another,
from magnetic tape to punched cards, and
from magnetic tape to a printer). The
remaining Utility program prepares and
writes standard IBM tape volume labels.
