I have x3.27-1978. It's about 65 pages. Appendix C lists the
differences wrt 1969.<br>
<br>
I inherited my copy from the implementer of TOPS-10 labeled tapes...<br>

(Intel's) corporate librarians to see if they could find
X3.27-xxx and in particular -1969 (the original) and -1978
which was version 3. I agree with Paul, that V3 (-1978) was
the version that most people implemented. I seems to remember
that, VMS started with V2 and upgraded to 3 - as I remember on
VAX Serial #1 trying to read tapes from it on the 360 or the
Univac was funky.</div>

I've sent a note to one of my old housemates that wrote some

trying to find my old copies the documents, but I fear they
might have been lost in the apt flood of a few years ago (I
lost some historical stuff in that that my wife made to toss).
At one time, I had a photocopy of the -1969 with my IBM/360
files. I know I still have one of the best document on using
tapes CMUs Computer Center wrote in the early 1960s (I know I
do still have it because I found that and referred to it last
summer). Anyway, I'll keep looking this weekend.</div>

</span>I should have been more specific. According to the
sources, RSTS V10.1 does ANSI label format version 3. I
don't know about older versions.<br>
