- system
- Windows NT4/2K with cygwin1.dll since 1.1.3
- notes
- This version supports setting blocksize to 0 to enable the variable
blocksize feature of Cygwin V1.1.3.
- This `mt' is written before cygwin1.dll has tape support included
so `mt' calls the NT tape API by itself.
`mt' supports nearly all commands of the GNU-mt. Not supported are:
setdensity
drvbuffer
stoptions
stwrthreshold
Different to Linux, WinNT supports changes of the parameter `setblk'
only, if a tape is loaded!
The output of `mt status' is not compatible to GNU-mt, but corresponds
to the abilities of the WinNT tape device driver.
The command `status' reports more infos on `mt status 2' or
`mt status 3'!
