 MAGTAPE
 
  
 Format:	MAGTAPE [DEVICE <device name>] [UNIT <n>] [RET|RETENSION] 
 		[REW|REWIND] [SKIP <n>) 
  
 Template:	DEVICE/K, UNIT/N/K, RET=RETENSION/S, REW=REWIND/S, SKIP/N/K 
  
 Purpose:	To retension, rewind, or skip forward on SCSI tapes. 
  
 Path:		C:MAGTAPE 
  
 Specification: 
  
 By default, MAGTAPE uses SCSl.device unit 4. To change the default, you must 
 use both the DEVICE and UNIT keywords. 
  
 The RET|RETENSION option runs the tape to the end, then rewinds it. The 
 REW|REWIND option rewinds the tape. The SKIP <n> option allows you to skip 
 files on the tape. 
  
 MAGTAPE tests to see if the unit is ready before sending the command. If 
 your tape is not on-line, you may have to repeat the MAGTAPE command. 
  
 Example: 
  
 1> MAGTAPE DEVICE second scsi.device UNIT 0 REW
