Is there some reason why a tar tape created on a 3030 series machine
can't be read on a Sun 3/280?  Is it just me, or has anyone else
experienced difficulties. Blocking factors are the same, the 3030 tar 
seems to have 512 byte records that can't (according to the man page)
be changed.  the man page on the Sun doesn't say what byte record it 
uses, or how to change that either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx a lot,

Jim Disbrow
