Hi, Philip,
the device handling for tapes didn't work in any b19 release,
and the first b20 release will not contain the needed code, too.
If you can't (or won't) be patient, I will send you a b19 dll,
which contains working tape and raw disk device support and
some other needful stuff (header files, new tar, cpio, mt).
Unfortunately, the dll has an `intermediate state': The tty support
doesn't work. So it runs only with standard WinNT console window.
