[comp.sys.apollo] Using tar commands

craig@edstip.EDS.COM (Craig Doebler) (10/03/89)

 I have been trying to send files to a quarter inch cartarige
tape using tar cvf /dev/rct0 filename. The results I get are
a message on the screen which signifies the file name and its
block size and nothing has been transfered to the tape. If I
do a  ls -las (list and show attributes), the rct0 file has 
all my data in it whats going on??? I am running a DN3500,
BSD 4.2
