Re: read(): varblk tape records...(& Fix for : read())


Hi Corinna,

This will stop me working on the tape handling in Cygwin until I got a
new tape from somewhere :-(

Well, I'll stick to variable-block tapes then - I've tested the first march-snapshot cygwin1.dll and it's working for me. (Although, I think only because the cygwin API *and* the program which processes tapes checks tape_status more often than is required - which is preventing the problem where updating the current block number indicator gets skipped because my drive is busy... Is this a normal thing?)


I hope you get a working tape unit soon.
Jason.
ps. Yes, Bill - not Igor.  Sorry.
