- EOD. This inconvenience has been introduced as it was reported that

-4. MTBSF - backspace over file mark and position at its EOT side
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ftape-2.x didn't handle the MTBSF tape operation correctly. A MTBSF
- call (i.e. "mt -f /dev/nqft0 bsf #COUNT") should space over #COUNT
- file marks and then position at the EOT tape side of the file
- mark. This has to be taken literally, i.e. "mt -f /dev/nqft0 bsf 1"
- should simply position at the start of the current volume.
