I guess we need to write : a script that will write to a 2 GB file, copy it to another area, write 2 more : GB from ontape, etc. Or, somehow change the value of TAPEDEV during : the ontape archive. We have taken the onarchive class and chose not to : implement it (live with ontape until onbar's available).

Any ideas on : "faking out" ontape to write to "multiple" 2 GB files, or change TAPEDEV : during the archive would be greatly appreciated. : : Melissa Schornheuser : Farmland Industries, Kansas City, MO : mgschornheuser@farmland.com : : :
