It sounds like you want to use the "mt" program, plus of course the non-rewinding tape device. 'mt fsf N' skips forward N files on the tape. If Informix doesn't write eof markers then use 'mt eof' immediately following the archive to write an eof marker for 'mt fsf' to use. Check your manual. This should work, but I haven't tried it. -- Hugh Grierson Fujitsu New Zealand - Local Government Group hugh@icl.co.nz [if that fails, try H.M.Grierson.nez1201@oasis.icl.co.uk] Ski today - work tomorrow
