What's even more curious is that the holding disk files are broken up into 1 gigabyte segments. So 30-something of these would fit on a single tape, and if EOT was hit before tape-end, then only <1gb would be lost. Instead, nothing is being recorded as written to the tape. -- Joe Rhett Senior Geek Meer.net
