I just got a DAT cartridge with a tar backup. It seems that the backup was made with a blocksize of 256K. Isn't it possible to get the data into my pc with current (it looks like there's a limit of 64K)?? I tried "tar tvb 512" but that failed. Any clues? Many thanks, Christian. -- Christian Gusenbauer "It's easier to change the specification cg@archimedia.khs-linz.ac.at to fit the program than vice versa."
