Anon ftp and cd to pub/macdump. There is the Mac .hqx file and the Unix code in shar and shar.Z format. You need an AppleTalk to ethernet gateway (FastPath, GatorBox) and the cap and atalkad libraries. It should run on a sparc machine, but I never tested it on one. The unix code you get. No Mac code provided. It can dump to a "dump area", and then have it's own tape management dump that to tape and keep track of the dumps. I'm not sure if you could modify it to dump directly to tape. Certainly not any type of streaming tape, as the throughput on macdump isn't that high. Jeff White University of Pennsylvania jeff@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
