Does anyone have a script to tbtape/ontape to disk, and cope with archives bigger than 2GBytes via the TAPESIZE parameter? If so, could you please post to andrew.watson@ardenta.com, who's too shy to ask himself. Thanks -- Neil Truby t:01932 724027 Director m:07798 811708 Ardenta Limited e:neil.truby@ardenta.com

It's on Linux btw, this seems to behave differently on HP and Solaris. On Linux the pipe does not appear to stay open and later writes to it just hangs indefinitely.
