Syntax generic-restore {account.name}
Category TCL
Type Verb
Description restores a specially formatted account-save created by certain utility programs.

The generic-restore program functions identically to the "account-restore" verb, except that it expects the tape to be formatted as a series of T-dumps written by a utility run on a non-D3 machine.

Current utilities for dumping from non-D3 boxes include: UVDUMP for dumping from uniVerse systems, and R83DUMP for dumping accounts from R83-based licencee systems.
Options
See Also UVDUMP R83dump uvget
Example
Warnings Certain Pick look-a-likes do not write binary items out in a standard T-DUMP format.  This causes the "generic-restore" program to "miss" the beginning of the next tape header and abort.  It is critical to avoid dumping all binary items for this reason.
