Hi,

I'm having trouble with the ft that comes with 2.0.5.  When it comes to a 
bad spot in the tape, it trys endlessly to write to it.  I read somewhere 
that there is a new version of ft that deals with this problem, but have
be unable to find it under the -current source tree.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Shawn
