Summary: 'restore' rewinds the tape
Hdate: 5 Kislev 5748


This is a problem common to many (most?) unix systems: 'restore' rewinds
the tape after reading the volume number from the terminal. The only solution
I have found is to run 'restore' up to the point it asks for the volume number,
then suspend it (or go to another terminal) and do the 'mt fsf' or the
appropriate 'dd' to position the tape at the correct file, and only then
continue with 'restore'.
