tar problem

[slesh at fth-1.arpa]

	Thanks a bunch for the tip about the 3B20 tape-controller limitation.
That would have been a REAL BEAR to find by myself (if I ever could have?)!!!
	I confirmed that was part of the problem by using 'dd' to read in the
tape in question.  'dd' would take a blocking factor of 12 512 blocks but chokedon 13 512 blocks.  Unfortunately, I still get the "checksum" error when I try
to read a 'tar' tape blocked 10 512 byte records.  
	Thanks again to everyone who responded.
