Fair enough, but remember my post was about cat vs dd,
and
was not dealing with all these other issues being tossed
up, it was to point out that what he was doing would be easier
with a simpler tool
It certainly didnt apply to preserving the information
needed to rewrite a new 9 track tape.
I think your being a bit rough on me here, your givin me
a GI bath for things that was outside of the scope of my
focus.
Ok, and fair enough... several of us detected that you might not
quite grasp the scope of the issue, yet your dogged assertiveness
was sending a different message.
I apologize for any part of my remarks that came off
like an attack.

I certainly was not aware of blanks in the tape being used as
record marks.
If i might use the 1991 mips 3k sysVr4 unix thats on my old sony
NeWS again as an example, its tar program cant write
or read from a file. its only provided function is to/from
the tape device to the file system,, how absurd !
it was from the days before it became very common
to treat tarballs on disk the same as tar streams on tape
files on disk in [T]ape [AR]chive format, what a concept eh ?
Some of us are just too spoiled
