That's true but I can understand to usefulness of knowing how many GB, 
etc., are still available past the end of the last saveset on a tape. 
Networker's reporting of "100% used" when reaching default uncompressed 
capacity isn't too useful, IMO. At best, you might have half the tape 
available, at worst little if any.
