How to copy from CD to DDS tape in UNIX

Can anybody tell me how to copy a program from CD to DDS Tape in a UNIX system?  This is on an ancient ABB Advant system.
 
Thank you.

   And then what?  Who/what will be reading this tape?

   Tells me nothing.  Is it an HP-UX system?

      uname -a

   Generally, I might mount the CD, and use "tar" to write the data to
the tape.  But, nowadays, with everyone and his lightbulb networked, I'd
probably avoid involving a tape at all.
