8mm Backup strangeness (my own query, my own solution)

[Yates, John H.]

I posted that I had a problem with Backup on our 8mm drive. I
tried our 9 track and had the same problem. SGI has noted my
infoiris message, and will test internally. Meanwhile, I took
the advice of a wise netter (sorry, I don't have your name at
my fingertips) and used bru directly. The following script worked
just fine to my 8mm drive.
I consider the problem resolved, I won't use Backup and List_tape.
