I've posted this several times at regular intervals, pardon me if you've seen this before. I'm looking for a 'tar' for WinNT that can use the system tape device. I've seen a couple 'tar' that only work with files on disk. I found another port of GNU 'tar' recently that did not include any documentation. Examining the executable showed me that the program was calling some of the WinNT-specific tape device calls, but I don't know how to name the tape device on the command line… Any ideas?
