Two notes on the recent exetoc program posted to comp.sources.unix:

  1.  Yes, I know the company name is spelled Exabyte.  So what?

  2.  Yes, the version posted only works with the Delta Microsystems
      driver for the tape.  The Sun SCSI driver, at least, lacks one
      of the ioctls for talking to the tape drive.

      If people are inclined to make the slight modifications required
      for exetoc to work with other drivers, that'd be great.  Please
      post changes to comp.sources.bugs or comp.sources.unix; as for 
      me, the only systems I have to work with are SunOS 3.5 machines
      using the Delta Microsystems driver, so that's all I can really
      support.
