Hi Corinna,

Well, I'll stick to variable-block tapes then - I've tested the first 
march-snapshot cygwin1.dll and it's working for me.  (Although, I think only 
because the cygwin API *and* the program which processes tapes checks 
tape_status more often than is required - which is preventing the problem 
where updating the current block number indicator gets skipped because my 
drive is busy...  Is this a normal thing?)

I hope you get a working tape unit soon.
Jason.
ps. Yes, Bill - not Igor.  Sorry.
