TOPS-20 tapes store author information, read20 should print it.
For dump.h add:
#define WdoffAuthor WdoffFDB+030 /* Author offset */
Then in doFileHeader:
getstring(block, authorname, WdoffAuthor, sizeof(authorname), STRING);
and print it when in verbose mode:
printf("%5d%9d %2d %o %s %s %s", offline ? apgcount : pgcount,
numbytes, bytesize, tprot, timeptr, topsname, authorname);
