Data interchange is the term applied to the process of moving data in and around different hardware platforms and operating systems, usually through specific media devices and peripherals such as tape drives, optical drives or networked systems.

Data interchange software gives users the ability to connect tape drives to the PC and read and write tapes with data written from Mainframes and Mini computers. This gives users the flexibility of the PC for manipulating, filtering and managing the tremendous amount of data that is available on these mass storage computers. Phone companies, accounting firms, mailing list houses, graphics houses, banks, and many more companies as well as individuals utilize this technology to create and move files, reports and databases that are of great value.

With downsizing and right- sizing, firms are looking for ways to scale down from data and information managed on these large mainframes to more manageable networks. Unylogix offers an entire suite of Data Interchange products to meet this demand, to break down the once formidable barriers of software operating systems and hardware platforms to make it easy for anyone who may need to transfer data of any type.

reads and writes IBM and ANSI labeled tapes for UNIX systems.

Industry Standard Tapes 3480/3490 and 9-track tapes have long been the standard media for transporting data between computers. To facilitate convenient and reliable transfer, tape format and labeling standards have evolved. The two most widely used standards are IBM Standard Labels and ANSI X3.27-1978. Tape labels contain information about file names, creation dates, accessibility, etc. In addition, labels contain information describing how data is stored, including record format, record length, and block length. A labeled tape can be read without providing any additional information. All the information necessary to read the tape is stored on the tape itself. REELexchange makes it possible for UNIX systems to read and write both IBM and ANSI format tapes.
