Hello, all. I hate to take everyone away from the GNU kernal
discussion, but...
A short while ago, someone put some very important drawings
onto a 1/4" tape using tar. Subsequently, and end-of-tape
marker was written at the beginning of the tape. I think
that trashed the first drawing. but the others should still
be around, just not readily accessable (correct me if I'm
wrong). Is there a PD or standard UN*X utility that will
read the info that's past the end-of-tape marker?
I'm running SunOS4.0 on a 3/60. The tape was written under
SunOS3.5.
Please respond via e-mail. Thanks for any help.
