What?   Version 7.1.x of Unix or Windows .   By undocumented  (never heard
of it) do you mean unproven/experimental?   Are you using it in production
with anything?

Are you saving this splits a savestream into 4 sessions as seen in the
nwadmin?  ie..the sessions could go to seperate tapes (as the user here
wants)?

It seems odd that this feature is not documented/advertised.. anyone using
it??
