Well, I've downloaded the content, compile the compress for my UNIX and am
ready to write the tapes. Since I'm not using a native machine, any tips on
creating the tapes? I would guess from your notes that I would just dump the
files in binary from the computer to the tape. No headers, no special
markers. Just file<eof>file<eof>file...

any tips?

Thanks,
Kelly
