I don't know why : it doesn't detect end-of-media, but: : : I _know_ it supports multi-TAPE archives, with the -L length option; I : make my backups this way, to a 60Mb QIC drive, using -L 60000 : : Try "tar +help". Does anyone know why it isn't possible to pause GNU/386bsd's tar +help output by piping it to more? It's as if it's not being send stdout. Could it be going to stderr instead? -John jackson@a1.mec.mass.edu or vikki@athena.mit.edu
