- The GNU file utilities have a dd. I am not sure but it may already be
- ported to DOS. It should be on prep.ai.mit.edu. The dd comes with
- other Unix-like commands in a package known as GNU's file utilites. The
- utilities should be in the pub/gnu directory in a file named
- fileutils-X.Y.tar.Z (X and Y being the version #).
-
- Now that everyone who reads this group knows where dd source code is
- located; does anyone know where a remote dd can be found (rdd??)? I
- wish to do raw tape writes/reads to remote machines. It would be nice
- to do:
-
- $ dd if=inputfile of=machine:/dev/rst0 bs=126b
-
- I currently use:
-
- $ rsh remotehost < inputfile dd of=/dev/rst0 bs=126
-
- but sometimes it does not work very well. I would prefer something
- that used the /etc/rmt command (if of course such a program already
- exists and is freely available). I checked archie, but it did not
- seem to have anything listed. A program that manipulates the drive,
- like mt, for remote systems would be be nice too. I may have to
- write/modify one, but I thought I would check around first.
