Hmm. Given my previous experiences with tape drives, you may be out of luck. When you clobbered the old file, you wrote an end of tape marker that the drive will probably refuse to move past (which is normally an excellent behavior). The only thing I can think is to try using "mt seek" to bytes past the end of the tape, but I'd be surprised if the drive lets you. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
