You didn't read, and you didn't search. The articles at http://www.aplawrence.com/Unixart/tapes.html
and
http://www.aplawrence.com/Unixart/tapenotfound.html
would
surely answer your question and they would have instantly popped up had
you bothered to type "tape" in the search box.
So instead you waste everybody's time with a useless post. I'm sorry, but
it's damn annoying: if people don't search before they post, they just
waste time for themselves and everyone else.
Your answers are in the referenced articles. Don't post again without having
at least tried to find the answer that way. If you try, and don't understand
something, that's fine: ask your question. But don't waste our time
with nonsense like this.
