I've got this tape that I got from a friend with a sun micro box but I can't seem to extract the tar archive in SCO UNIX System V 3.2 tar just says that there is a tape error... Can anyone help?

Can anyone help? It has to be made on the Sun on /dev/rst8. If he used rst0 you can't read it. You might try reading on /dev/rct2 on xenix, though, that's another format and may match. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
