Begin3 Title: zftape-1.02 Version: 1.02 Entered-date: 951116 Description: This is mainly a bug fix release of zftape-1.01 and zftape-1.00. Implementation of compression for ftape. Uses lzrw-3. Built on top of ftape-2.03b. Dynamic allocation of the dma-buffer. Seems to work with kernels 1.2.** and up (up to 1.3.41). Uses a volume table conforming to the QIC-80 standard to simulate file marks, thus archives written with this driver are recognized by other QIC-80 tape programs and are not overwritten by them. Tape blocks of constant length, i.e. MTFSR etc. works. Old ftape archives still readable. Can also read archives written by MSDOS programs, but extracts them in a ** really raw ** matter.
