Xenix Multi-tape backup

[G. Simon Gales]

There _is_ at least one version of Xenix whose tar is broken.  You can make
multi-volume tars, but when you try to reload (un-tar?) them, tar will prompt
for the next volume only if a file was split across the volume and the next
one.  If a file isn't split across volumes, tar will simply stop at the end
of the volume.

I don't know which version has this problem, but I've experienced it and 
heard it from customers. (SCO Xenix, 286 versions)
