      Recently I received one of the Slim TPS demo tapes from Interleaf.
 Now that im finished with the demo id like to re-use the tape... Only
 problem is that cpio writes a bit (< 10 blocks) then displays a message
 that ive reached the end of media. Well since this tape looks like it
 could be a 600' tape (3M DC 600A), it should hold more than 10 blocks.
 Anyway - does anyone have an idea how this tape can be reused for more
 than just the plastic carry case?
