You should have watched the output of my program when i first posted it. I was re-reading the records from the tape, and got the exact amount of bytes that have been written. If the driver (or the device) would have padded any data, how should it have been possible to e.g. get a 33333-byte record from the tape in return? Besides, i basically know the BSD driver doesn't do it, from UTSLing. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
