Kdat Project
Hello!
I'm Fernando Campos a CS student from Madrid.
I'm working in the CRL (Centro de Referencia Linux-Linux Reference Center) of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
We are involved in the migration of a company's IT systems, and we would like to use KDat as GUI to carry out the backups on magnetic tapes. I have been looking for a nice application to manage the magnetic tape cause the company's sysadmin is not used with GNU/Linux systems :S, and it will be a huge success if I teach her to use "tar", so a GUI instead "mt" and "tar" would be wonderful.
I have been trying to use KDat, but in OptionsDialog, where you can set the tape size and the block size, it's not possible to introduce a number greater than '99', so I can't set the block size to 512bytes. The same problem is present with the tape size.
I would be glad to find the last code release of KDat and try to fix it (and, of course, release it! ;) ), but I haven't found the official project web page. Which is the last version of KDat?? Where could I find it?? I have found
2.0.1, but I'm not sure that's the newest one.
Thanks for your help, and I apologize for my awful English!
Fernando.
