SUBJECT :   HELP -- RESUMING TAR AFTER AN ERROR
 
 
    We have a  CONVEX  C-1,  running  8.0  convexOS.   Recently, I was
reading a TAR tape  when  it  experienced  an  error and all the files
after the error were lost.  I  would like any utility that will notify
me :
 
    -   on what file, TAR experienced the error and [more importantly]
 
    -   allow me to resume TAR AFTER the error causing file.
 
 
 
 
Thanks and have a GOOD day,
