Tar loses if there are any hard errors on the tape. Dump may be somewhat better, but doesn't provide nearly the functionality. I am looking for a tape migration facility (a la tops-20) that handles real-life tape errors, or failing that, a driver that sits on top of the raw driver that does error encoding and correction so I can use tar with it. Any suggestions? Send me mail as I don't read the bboards regularly. dca@mit-eddie
