The "bpmedialist -summary" report is pretty good.  It could be run via cron
and mailed daily.

I have reports generated by command-line tools and presented via a web
server on the master server.  Another option.

The 3.4 X-Gui doesn't seem to have an option to display the tape
availability date that I can find.  Java or v4.5 might vary.

Oh!

Well then, I misunderstood what that column would show.  How would we see
in a GUI, when the tape will be available?  I don't see a heading that
would be a good candidate.  I don't mind using the CLI, in fact I prefer 
to use these tools.  However, I need to create simple docs for other 
people to pick up for me, and GUI is the way to go.

Thanks,
Ron.
