Tool to maintain tar tape archives and control compression.

Version: 2.0.0
Entered-date: 1996-01-01
Description: Once you have recorded the record number of each file of a tar scsi-tape archive, you are able to find and extract these files very fast. If you have a DAT drive, you can extract every small file from a 2GB tape withing 40 seconds. You can either use dds2tar or GNUtar to create an index file. The software is only convenient, if your tape supports a fast positioning command. Added code to chage the compression mode of HP-DAT. mt-dds is included to control compression mode of the device. Linux (because of the TELL and SEEK command) SCSI-Tape drive
