"Travan" tape drive question

[wbart3]

Hi -

Just a little question, maybe someone knows the answer.

Local computer vendors are advertising internal tape backup drive,
made by various manufacturers, that are referred to as "travan" type
drives. Are these the same as QIC? If not, can they be accessed via
Linux?

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Need help creating a .deb package

[wbart3]

Hi -

I just volunteered to maintain a package for the jed editor.

Last night I read all the documents in the doc/package-developer directory
and when I was finished I realised that I still did not know how to
create the .deb package.

Is there some sort of step-by-step guide on how to do this?
I can compile jed on my system with no problems, but creating the .deb
package is still a mystery.

Help, please...

Bill
