Hi all..
I've looked at the tar man and info, but still can not understand what to do.
Here's the deal. I've got a tape drive. I've got it where I can write to the drive, no problem. BUT how do I get something off the tape?
What I want to do is take one file from the tape and put it on different place than where it came from. For example:
I have on the tape a file /home/jim/XX I want that file, and only that file, on /home/wife/XX
How do I do that?
Extract it to standard output with the "O" flag and redirect to /home/wife/XX.. Cliff
