o Is there a driver that will let IEBCOPY (for example) unload a relative file directly to an ASWTAPE image? o Or do they build interim tapes and filter those to AWSTAPE? What is a good ASWTAPE package? I looked at a couple on CBTTAPE, and they seemed nice, but not quite ready for Prime Time. Likewise, what enterprise-grade utility would they distribute to customers to unwind AWSTAPE? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
