You created one vtape, right?

How did you do that?  It has been a while since I've done it,
but if I recall correctly you made a directory that was to be
the vtape, put in that directory a subdirectory called data,
and used amlabel.  Make some more, the same way but with
different names and labels.

Don't trust my memory (or yours),
see the HOW-TO in the docs directory.
