Subj: your question relating to tar on Alpha NT...
Chris
The syntax for specifying the ASPI device is
aspi:[target:n],[adapter:n],norewind
for example tar -cvf aspi:target:2 files
you can set the enviroment variable TAPE to specify the aspi device for
example:
SET TAPE=aspi:target:2,adapter:0
This will then be your default archive spec if you don't override it
on the command line with -f flag.
Please let me know if you have any questions
Thank You
Nari
