hi,
     i'm having problems with rwmt.  when i issued the command
             rwmt -r -raw -f 1 -rf u -rl 4101 -bl 4101 rawfile
i get some error messages, including one that says the formatter
is busy.

     what's a formatter?  what's it doing with a tape reader?
how do we unbusy it?

     btw, i'm using sr9.7 on dn3000; my tape drive is attached to
a dsp90.  the drive can read 1600/3200 bpi tapes.  the tape was
made on cms (one of those texasaurus sitting on an ibm dinosuar)
at 1600 bpi.

     thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
