Re: mc Digest, Vol 124, Issue 2

I'm confused. What's the point of tar<->detar,
unless you're moving it over a slow/expensive route?
The data-flow is:
Dsk->RAM->RAMtar->RANdetar->Dsk.
And if RAM fills, it's even more absurd, by 'swapping'.
What have I missed?

== Chris Glur.

PS. I'm assuming that Dsk is the SAME Dsk, as normal.
