GNU cpio & mt are available from your local ftp GNU archive in
the cpio package. cpio-2.4.2 should compile without problems.
I have made some patches to mt.c, to add a 'reset' option
and to open the tape device in write mode for erasing and
writing filemarks. See cpio-2.4.2-linux-diffs for the
patches.

New additions to mt:
	mt tell
and
	mt seek NR
to get the current blocknumber and to seek to a 
specific blocknumber. These only work with (some?)
Archive drives. :-(
Hopefully this is compatible with the SCSI tape driver.
If you can, please try and let me know.
I would like to merge the ftape, SCSI and QIC02 versions of `mt'.
