- Yes, but the question remains: WHAT ARE THE COMMANDS TO DO SO FOR WANGDATS?
-
- (I got 4 messages asking me to forward any responses; unfortunately I have not
- received any). Again, has anybody written C functions that can substitute for
- fseek() and ftell() (probably over the whole tape, rather than a file, which
- would be just fine).
-
- I can no longer get a hold of the author of Safteynet, nor will Safetynet do
- what I need: maintaining data-bases to be read by programs. I do not primarily
- want to increase dump/tar/etc speed!!
