I wrote this tool while debugging a driver because I couldn't find a tool that allowed me to open a file, seek randomly, and read and write.

I thought it might one day be useful to someone too.

This might also be useful for controlling actual tape drives. :P

Absolutely. Would love to see it!

Now that it exists, I don’t see how it didn’t exist before!

Nice tool, and congrats on the tool launch!
