It is clear that the "norewind" device must be used, but does the tape driver write and eof mark? Should the "mt" command be used to write eof marks after each archive? Is there any way to determine how many archives are stored on the tape... Thanks...Jerry ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jerry LeVan | Phone:(606)-622-1931 | | Department of Computer Science | | | Eastern Kentucky University | Email:matlevan@eku.bitnet | | Richmond Ky 40475 | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "The series converges so slowly that it actually diverges." | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
