I would also point out to the original issuer of this discussion that
if having more than 10 tapes is a problem, you can upgrade to a 30
slot I/O station,

We have the 30 slot station .. but it still doesn't improve the
process.  The ACSLS approach is so much nicer: If  somebody puts
tapes in the entry slots, they get stashed in the library.  That
makes life much simpler for the operational staff.  The system can
figure out what to do with them later.  But having to enter a bunch
of commands just to get tapes entered into the library makes no sense.
