I have a user at a field site who needs to make UNIX TAR compatible 
exabyte tapes from his PC.  He has an Adaptec #AHA1520 SCSI board 
and a 2.3 Gb exabyte (8mm) tape drive.  The software he has can read 
and write tapes, but not in TAR format.

What software can be recommended to do this?

Please respond by email to "matheson@open.dal.ca".

Thanks in advance!
