Hi Francois,

Due to the limitation on HP-UX tar of up to 8GB file, I'm using this
gtar as an alternative. However, I've encountered a problem when trying
to retrieve a 20GB file from tape using this gtar. It works fine when I
used gtar to copy the same file to a file and the retrieved it. It also
works fine when I copy multiple smaller files to the tape and retrieve
them.

I would like to ask if you have similar encounters before. Would you
have any fixes for this? 

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Regards,
Vincent
