Hello Eric, For those of you who don't know what vtape is -- it is a virtual tape driver that Eric wrote that simulates a real tape drive but using disk -- it is no small programming accomplishment!
Nice work! I just "converted" my test regression case so that it is vtape/tape neutral. It works like a charm. One can switch back and forth between vtape and real tape by simply changing: USE_VTAPE=yes to USE_VTAPE=no or vise-versa and then running: make sed I ran my test tests/two-vol-manual-tape both with a real tape drive and using vtape with the above procedure and diffed the output. The only differences were due to dates and timing (i.e. vtape runs much faster) -- everything else in the debug output listing was identical. I'm looking forward to finishing up version 2.4.1 using vtape (*much* faster) so you can move all the @xxx@ variables to the environment, and then there will be no need to even run the "make sed" script to switch between real tape and virtual tape. Thanks again for the nice work. Best regards, Kern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
