	Is this supposed to work on tapes, also? The reason I say "supposed", is
	that I tried it. The file I needed was on vol #2. WHen It got to the end
	of vol #1, it stopped.

	I found there is a way to specify a vol to start with, but then it
	want's to restore a whole file system.

	This is on an RT, in this case, but should it matter?
