Here's the list of stuff that should be added to VMSTAR: Short term (please concentrate on this first): * Make VMSTAR recognise text files that have variable length records and no record attributes. * Qualifiers for VMSTAR to specify the block factor size (currently, 20 is hardcoded. This gives 10240 byte blocks. This should only be a default...) Long term: * Capability to mount the device to which the tar dump will be written, if it isn't already mounted. * Capability to tell the user to mount a new tape if the tar dump takes more than one. More things could be added with time.
