I should have said that I am running on a SCO Xenix 2.3.1 system.  It
now (as of this release) uses the SysV "fsphoto" stuff which seems to
be equivelent (on the surface..  i.e.  I, II, III, IV, etc appear when
dumping) to the dump/restore that I had on the older versions of
Xenix.  The only docs I have are for fsphoto and fssave, etc.
Somewhere buiried in the docs I found that you couldn't restore onto a
filesystem that has a different size.

Any idea of what dump/restore version fsphoto/fssave came from?  Is it
completely different?
