- Subject: PROC TAPELABEL and 3490E drives
- Lines: 12

- Hello Net,
- We have begun to make our 3490E drives available to the general
- user community (square tapes) and are being asked about the amt
- of footage files use ... I know these drives employ some sort of
- compression, but is this nailed down? We have been told that the
- expanded square tapes are 1100 ft and when running TAPELABEL it
- will report (for example) that we have used over 1600 feet ...
- what gives? Any nice method of computing this? (the IBM manual
- on this is less than helpful)
- Thanks in advance...
