I uploaded backscri.tgz to the incoming-directories of sunsite.unc.edu and
tsx-11.mit.edu.

This is a collection of scripts to make handling of compressed tape backups
easier. They work independently of the type of streamer you use and can work
with qic02, ftape and scsi tapes. I also included new versions of GNU's tar
and mt programs.
