Hi Corinna,
This will stop me working on the tape handling in Cygwin until I got a
new tape from somewhere :-(
Well, I'll stick to variable-block tapes then - I've tested the first
march-snapshot cygwin1.dll and it's working for me. (Although, I think only
because the cygwin API *and* the program which processes tapes checks
tape_status more often than is required - which is preventing the problem
where updating the current block number indicator gets skipped because my
drive is busy... Is this a normal thing?)
I hope you get a working tape unit soon.
Jason.
ps. Yes, Bill - not Igor. Sorry.
