I'd have thought that the firmware would recognise a tape written in compressed format. You might try playing around with the density codes (they should be available in you manual, or failing that they can be found somewhere in the compression support section at www.exabyte.com). These can be used with the `mt density' command, and can be used to select compression modes etc. John ----------------------------------------------------- John McLaughlin | Acucobol Ireland Ltd IS Manager, Europe | Burlington House e-Mail: jmcl@acucobol.ie | Waterloo Lane WWW: http://www.acucobol.com| Dublin4, Ireland | Ph: +353 1 6676166 | Fax: +353 1 6676130 -----------------------------------------------------
