MAKEDEV gets device info out of /etc/devinfo (according to the manual page ;) /dev/nht0 is made the same way (or any device for that matter). /dev/ht0 is the auto-rewinding version of the device and /dev/nht0 leaves the tape device positioned at the end of whatever operation was just completed. My SCSI tape device is non-rewinding so I always use /dev/nst0. You will probably want to use /dev/nht0. Regards, Bernt. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
