Genera 8 tar tapes

[hall@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu (Marty Hall)]

Genera 8 was supposed to include a supported tar tape facility. As you
may know, the writing portion of it does not work. Symbolics says they
will not be able to fix this until 8.1 (probably late spring).

Does anyone have a homemade patch or a suggestion? The purpose is to 
transfer data between a group of Symbolics' and some Unix boxen at
another site, where there is no network connection in between.
