Put bkalfa-all00 and bkalfa-all01 in the drive. * On the next run, use bkalfa-all02 and bkalfa-all03 * On the next run, use bkalfa-all04 and bkalfa-all05 * Return your tapecycle to 8, continue life as normal Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
