TapeWorm-FS from MoonLighter Software Development allows those with tape
drives to utilize their drives as if they were a normal WORM type drive.
This is a software patch that will update your backup copy of TapeWorm-FS
up to version 1.2.  Below are the changes.

-------------------------------
Changes from Version 1.0 to 1.2
-------------------------------

Fixed a problem that occured when rebuilding the directory of a tape that 
uses the 'Keep .info files with directory' option.  The rebuild was not 
setting the size of some files in the rebuilt directory properly.

Changed the filesystem so that it doesn't use the WRITE_FILEMARKS SCSI 
command with a zero argument.  Some drives (most notabably some A3070's)
don't adhere to the SCSI standard with with regards to this command 
resulting in TapeWorm-FS not working.

Changed the way that eject is called.  Some HP DAT drives were not properly
ejecting the tape.

Changed the filesystem so that it makes sure that everything is flushed
to the directory file of the tape currently in the drive every 4 seconds.
Before some things weren't being flushed until the tape was ejected.  This
could cause problems when copying files to a tape and then rebooting without
ejecting the tape.  (This was fixed in version 1.1)

The filesystem was freeing some memory it shouldn't have if there was an
error while starting up.
