Message-ID: <360@hrc.UUCP> Date: 30 Nov 88 18:52:48 GMT Organization: Handwriting Research Corp. - Phoenix, AZ Lines: 11 Is it true that afio is faster than cpio? When I run it on a Convergent S/640 (25MHZ 68020), on 5.33 megs, afio takes 45 to 50 seconds longer than cpio. Any suggestions as to what I need to do to get the speed up? The reason I need afio, is that the CT box cpio doesn't handle the magnetic tape to well. (reel-to-reel) -- Dan Troxel VP of Computer Operations @ Handwriting Research Corporation - 2821 E.
