Subject:      WNT and Tapes

A simple question for the WNT experts:
 
Under Unix I might have a filename statement that looks like this:
 
  filename indata '/dev/rmt0';
 
which I could use to read data directly from the tape drive mounted at
/dev/rmt0.  What is the equivalent WNT syntax.  I have been plopped
down in front of an Intel box running WNT 4.0 and SAS 6.11.  It has a
tape drive, but the only way to use the tape drive - or so I am told -
is with the backup/restore program.  This can't be so.  Is it?
 
TIA - Jack
