writing a big file

[kai at uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu]

There was a program posted to comp.sources.misc or comp.sources.unix a while
back called "bundle" that will help you.

Your program writes to stdout, which you pipe to bundle, and it writes to the
tape, keeping track of when to stop and prompt for a new one (kind of the way
dump handles it).
