Well it seems to me there is another alternative, A utility that could be run on another workstation, (say a Sun or something with a NoRmal cartridge tape drive) to write the certification data onto the tape. Does anyone know if this is feasible ? If I ever get some time I may look into this myself but I first thought I would see if anyone on the net has more info. -Larry Schuler schuler@palantir.gsfc.nasa.gov ************ Nothin Fancy bout this here tail is there now *****************
