More than one tar file on streamer

[Chris Brown]

In response to Hans von Kleist-Retzow's question in v7n165, the following
command sequence will do the job:

	tar cf /dev/nrst8 files ...
	mt -f /dev/rst8 rew
	mt -f /dev/nrst8 fsf 1       <- You MUST use nrst8 here
	tar cf /dev/nrst8 files ...  <- And here too
	mt -f /dev/rst8 rew
	mt -f /dev/nrst8 fsf 2
	tar cf /dev/nrst8 files ...

and so on ...

One would imagine that a series of "tar cf /dev/nrst8 ..." commands would
work but I have not reliably been able to space forward to later files on
tapes written this way.
