Years ago I participated in a beta test program of
Seagate's, for a
product that later became "Direct Tape Access," which is a program
that allows you to have a tape drive masquerade as a disk drive under
Windows. This worked fairly well, though it had some weaknesses.
Later, after the BETA testing had been completed, and after the first
release, of which I got a copy from Seagate, they released a version
that included another utility, which I also BETA tested as "Gecko"
(misspelled, but ... THEY spelled it like that.) but which was
incorporated in DTA as "Copy Exec," which enabled Drag-n-Drop from one
part of the system tree to another.
Does anybody have a copy of that that they'd care to share? It's no
longer available from Seagate or from Veritas, which got all the
Seagate Backup software when it was spun off.
Yes, I installed this software for my friend's business. I can get a copy
of it next time I'm there (sometime in the next couple weeks). Shoot me
your address and I'll mail it to you gratis (I promise it won't explode
when you open it ;)
