Home of the 32532 Lines: 11 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'. -- Amos Shapir (My other cpu is a NS32532) National Semiconductor (Israel) 6 Maskit st.
