The ANSI routines are called in the following manner:
- ansicp - copy files from one ANSI tape to another
- ansidir - get a directory of an ANSI tape
- ansiin - read files from an ANSI tape
- ansiinit - initialize an ANSI tape
- ansiout - write files to an ANSI tape
- ulout - write files to an unlabeled tape
ansicommand -options arg1 arg2 ... argnwhere ansicommand is one of the six routines, options are command line options, and arg1 through argn are arguments that go with the specified options. When arguments are specified, they must be in the same order as their corresponding options.
