Message-ID: <1992Jul22.134948.17721@ulrik.uio.no> Sender: news@ulrik.uio.no (Mr News) Nntp-Posting-Host: 192.68.77.217 Organization: Statens Datasentral A/S, SDS, Norway Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1992 13:49:48 GMT Lines: 14 In my wisdom I made me a streamer tape with bin01.* as the first tar set, src01.* as the second, and etc01.* as the third. And I find to my dismay that I got no way to position the tape. So, I can install the bin01 set, but the rest is out of reach, unless a) somebody tells me how to create no-rewind device names, or b) some kind soul makes me a binary of mt (or equivalent, I only need to skip files). I cannot find any (explicit) tape control support in libc.a... Thanks a bunch, whoever helps me out! -- Tore Haraldsen
