Eric,

I don't think fsave knows how to append to a tape.  However, the theory of tar
is that it only makes one pass on the tape.  Therefore, if you don't rewind you
can tar more than once on a tape.  tar puts a "tape mark" after each tar file
to keep things organized.  In real life, do your backup and rewind.  Next time,
use the tape command to skip to the next tape mark, then tar.  I KNOW this
works in UNIX, it should also work in OS-9.  However, I can't get to a copy of
tar to try it today.  If you need more help on this, speak up.
