I have heard the names of some of them (QIC 24 seems to be the name of a standard format, for example) but have been unable to find any info on what the formats really are, which vendors use which formats, etc. So, if YOU have ANY information (what does QIC stand for? what format do your company's tape drives use? ...) PLEASE send it my way, and I will summarize to the net. "Reply before midnight tonight so you don't forget" -- Ron, of RONCO -- Marc Mengel attmail!mmengel {lll-crg|mtune|ihnp4}!cuuxb!mmengel
