[comp.unix.wizards] Seeking on a Tape Drive

stjohn@oswego.Oswego.EDU (Paul R. Taylor) (04/04/89)

I'm trying to write a program that will perform a seek operation on a tape
drive. I have looked in mtio.h (on Ultirx 3.0) at the MTIOCTOP ioctl and I
have tried the forward/backward space record operation without success. I was
wondering if anyone had written a program like this or have any ideas that 
could help.
Thanks in advance
