`Stacked' has something to do with multiple files on a tape. I don't
really know what it is, don't want to know and don't care. We bought
our machine early with pre-release software. Little did we know that
some hardware would also be pre-release, i.e. the QIC tape drive. It
doesn't know what a stacked tape is either. IBM promised us a
replacement RSN, but we're still waiting.
Until someone gives me the straight dope, the updates have to stay in
the cooler.
