This is a perfect opportunity to mention a new update disk
for Interactive Unix, SSU7, which includes a new program,
"mt", for manipulating tape devices. This program works with
both the Wangtek QIC-02 devices and SCSI tapes, and will
allow users to rewind, retension, erase tapes, as well as
write and seek file marks.

Also included in this update disk are fixes for the Adaptec
SCSI tape driver and the Wangtek QIC-02 driver. Multiple volume
backups now work with Adaptec SCSI tapes, and multiple tape
drives (up to 4) can now be connected to each Adaptec SCSI interface.

This update will run on Interactive Unix V2.2.1 (if you do not have V2.2.1
you will have to upgrade - V2.2 users can get a free upgrade to V2.2.1).
Users can order this and the other updates listed
below from their distributor or from Interactive's free warranty support
line, (213) 453 8649.
