Hello Everyone: I am working on curses-based Cpio/Tar Backup utility for magnetic tapes. With my own program, it works fine with tapes and disks. I created a file on tape but Unix Tar/Cpio can't read them and realize that hard error occurs and they can read on disks only well. So should I use mt routines to control magnetic tapes that make unix tar/cpio can read well? If so, I will appericate that.
