Since enough people showed interest in our script, I decided to share
this with the list.  Remember this is a custom script and is dangerous
for any OPS staff.  Deassign and erase tape and move to scratch.  

Any suggestions on changing this please reply to me. Thx josh

Be very careful.. Dangerous.....
