A 'Better-Than-Nothing' scsi tape driver
.description
The "Better Than Nothing" SCSI tape device handler.  It provides flat-file
access to a SCSI tape drive from application programs using simple calls to
DOS or C library I/O functions.  It can also be used with the Amiga TAR
utility for disk backups.  It uses your existing SCSI adapter's device
driver for access to the bus.  This version fixes a number of bugs and
includes several new features including file number tracking and append-only
and read-only safety modes.
