- How portable are tar tapes from one machine to another. My experience
- has been that tar within a vendor's site is portable but to try to
- carry a tar 1/4" tape from one vendor to another --- that's another story.

- The only thing I've had luck with is 1600 bpi reel tapes written in cpio -
- which is definitely not friendly to the casual user.
