Hi all, ftape-4.03 and all earlier versions have a bug which causes data loss when appending data to cartridges which already contain data of other backup programs (i.e. from Windoze), and vice versa. ONLY CARTRIGES WITH MORE THAN 2^16 = 65536 SEGMENTS ARE AFFECTED, i.e. TR-3 Extra, and some or all Ditto Max cartridges. Smaller cartridges are not a problem (i.e. ordinary TR-3). No problems occur when using the cartridges with ftape allone, only "mixing" of ftape and other backup programs causes grief. ftape-4.04 fixes this problem. It will soon be available from the usual places.
