ctape.c (ISC SysV386 tape utility)

[Kenneth Jamieson]

/* ctape.c:
   
   NOTE: ctape is PD. Do what you want with it. It has only been tested under
         Interactive Systems 2.0.2 with a Wangtek tape drive.

	 If it blows up the world, destroys your data, or eats your pets
	 it is NOT my responsibility.

   What does it do ? 

   ctape allows you to control tape drives in the most basic way. It is NOT
   a general purpose tape manager, it just REWINDS, RETENSIONS, and ERASES.

   I am sure there are better programs for this, but it is small, and did
   what I needed it to do.

   To Compile and Run:

       Examine the #defines below, and decide what you want the program
       to be called for each function. 

       do "cc ctape.c -o ctape"

       do "ln ctape ct_rewind" and so on, linking the ctape binary to
       the names you chose for the functions.

       This way, there is only one binary, but no user interaction needed.

       Then, you can say "ct_rewind /dev/tape" and off it goes.

       Simple.
