Hello Everyone:
    I am working on curses-based Cpio/Tar Backup utility for magnetic
tapes. With my own program, it works fine with tapes and disks. I created
a file on tape but Unix Tar/Cpio can't read them and realize that hard error
occurs and they can read on disks only well. So should I use mt routines to
control magnetic tapes that make unix tar/cpio can read well? If so, I will
appericate that. Thanks!
