- oops, I guess I never tried to write on the unix side before.
- The unix side reads tar files I wrote under amigados (using
- BTNtape and gnutar) just fine.
-
- However when I try to write from the unix side, I get the
- same errors. So the problem is obviously just one of writing
- to the tape, and not a problem with dump.
-
- So any ideas about what is wrong?
- Any suggested binpatches?
-
- Sorry about the dis-information in my original message.
-
- Thanks
