93.It
92Writting an image of a tape to a file does not preserve much more than
93the raw data.
94Block size(s) and tape EOF marks are lost which would
95otherwise be preserved in a tape-to-tape copy.

98.It
97EOD is determined by two sequential EOF marks with no data between.
98There are old systems which typically wrote three EOF's between tape
99files.
100.Xr tcopy 1
101will erroneously stop copying early in this case.

105does not rewind the tapes prior to start.
106A rewind is performed
107after writing prior to the verification stage.
108If one doesn't start
109at BOT then the comparison may not be of the intended data.
