Is that so?  What's amverify doing in my crontab file, then?  ;-)

(That was a rhetorical question.  It's there so that ejecting the tape
will be quicker, which means I get out of the cold, noisy machine room
faster.  It hasn't found any errors yet, other than those end-of-tape
errors you get when the tape's too short to hold everything.)

Coming to think of it, if amverify were to find a real error, what's
the approperiate procedure for me to follow?
