Hi Charles,

}In case 4, using your recommended action how would you
}resynchronize tape position?  Do you rewind and start
}over or backspace?

I'd backspace and READ POSITION.  If the READ POSITION returned the OLD 
value, I'd write.  If the READ POSITION returned something else, I'd 
probably rewind, skip forward,
and READ POSITION again.  If that didn't work, I'd probably
refuse to touch the tape.

Thanks.

Ralph...
