Message-ID: <1992Dec5.050125.18752@mnemosyne.cs.du.edu> Sender: usenet@mnemosyne.cs.du.edu (netnews admin account) Organization: Nyx, Public Access Unix @ U. of Denver Math/CS dept. Date: Sat, 5 Dec 92 05:01:25 GMT Lines: 15 Is there a dump program that compressed data before dumping it do disk. BTW, I figured out how to trick dump into thinking that floppy disks are real short high-densisty tapes. Is there a way to use tar to output to multiple floppy disks?
