Cross-compatibility of QIC tarfiles

[Gary M. Lin]

	I'm interested in moving up to QIC backups, instead of the standard
	9-track reels I have.  I have access to QIC units on an IBM RS/6000
	and a Sun workstation.  My question is can I read-in tarfiles
	written on another UNIX system, if they are both set on the same
	length, density and formatting specs?

	The RS/6000 supports DC-300XLP, and I believe the Sun also.  I would
	like comments from anyone who does this regularly.
