Re: DUPTAP learned something new

'ish'.  WHat I mean by that is for the thing to be bootable all the 
correct files need to be at the beginning, this is likely where you ere 
going. What you CAN do, however, is dup the data portion by using the 
'Start Sequence Number (FROMSEQNBR)' parameter and thus consolidate them 
that way.

If you think about it, old tapes to new tapes you can often get 10 or 
more to 1 and that's if the old ones are mostly full!!
