Ok.. It seems that what I was trying to do is impossible... Several people have told me that I cannot untar to stdout and that I would have to use dd or cat. Before posting to the list, I tried all of these options, but due to the large amount of data (60GB) and tape size constraints (35GB/tape) none of these options work for me. I wound up just putting the large tarball onto tape with GNU tar and when they go to unload the data on the other side, they will just have to run tar twice, once to get the tarball off of tape, and the second to untar it. I would like to apologize on the incoherence of the post, it was still early in the morning here. :) Thanks again! --Bob I would like to thank the following folks for thier help and for answering my post...
