PS.  Re; the frozen tapes, it probably would be a good 
idea to identify why they were frozen in the first 
place, otherwise they might get frozen again.

Quoting TWGIBBAR AT up DOT com:

> What is the best way to produce a list of available 
tapes?  I have recently
> unfrozen several tapes and I would like to figure out 
how many tapes are
> available.  A bpmedialist will only show tapes that 
have been written to.
> Is there a command that will report tapes that are 
currently available?
> The below tape has been unfrozen and is ready to be 
written to.  I need to
> produce a report to show me how many tapes are 
available that have not been
