The MKS toolkit only supports making tar format files, not tapes. Does anyone know of a software / hardware combination that reads and writes UNIX tar format 30 or 150 Mb QIC tapes on an MSDOS machine? Please email me and I will summarize to the net. Thanks! --ravi Ravi Pandya Xanadu Operating Company 550 California Avenue Suite 101 Palo Alto, CA 94306 415 856 4112 ext 122 415 856 2251 fax ravi@xanadu.com
