To use the CTape with anything other than r/wbak, you must first access the raw device with: mt -f /dev/(tapedev) rewind Then your tar/cpio commands to your tape device will work. rct8 is the device I used. I believe other tape devices will cooperate also. This may also solve the gentleman's problem with catf too, but I haven't had the chance to try it out. -- Marty Wiedmeyer New Vision, Computer Solutions mort@dhump.lakesys.COM Brookfield, WI 53005 {uunet!marque,uwvax!uwm}!lakesys!dhump!mort (414) 796-2838
