Is this supposed to work on tapes, also? The reason I say "supposed", is
that I tried it. The file I needed was on vol #2. WHen It got to the end
of vol #1, it stopped.
I found there is a way to specify a vol to start with, but then it
want's to restore a whole file system.
This is on an RT, in this case, but should it matter?
