Message-ID: Date: 22 Apr 91 04:37:30 GMT Sender: news@bu.edu.bu.edu Distribution: comp Organization: What do you mean 'That *can't* be done????' Lines: 37 Systems: remote SunOS 4.1.1 on 4/380 server local Encore Multimax 4.3(I believe) Problem: I have some data on the local machine that I need to dump to tape on the remote machine. I use rdump(8) but it is giving me an error which I can't figure out how to fix. It says that TERM is underfined and that may be the cause but I don't see why it needs it to run. Also, I can't see of any way to give it a term type anyways.
