PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Can someone somewhere (second time
I've asked this) tell me answers to these two things:-

1) What are decent 'fudge factors' to tell 'dump' when it's working on
   a TLZ04 ? We have 2xTLZ04, 1xDS5000/200, Ultrix 4.1 (sort of) and
   time is running out...

2) How can we access the DDS tape-partitioning facility under 4.1 ?
   Generating an index block on the tape, fast-seeking, all that sort
   of thing. Is there an shell interface to it yet, or is there only
   a C interface. If *either*, can I have details. The docs are non-existent
   but the machines are plugged in and time is fading fast...

    Please help - reading non-existent documentation is driving me bonkers!

				Thanx,
					alec
