Thanks Terry and everyone else who responded to my question. I am working
on a PERL script to sense which slots are empty and deposit tapes only to
those slots, rather than allowing nsrjb to figure out which slots to use.
The script is probably done. As soon as I need to deposit some tapes, I
will give the script a try. Anyone who wants a copy of this script is
welcome to it if you let me know. Its for PERL on Unix, but it should work
on any system that has PERL on it with a small modification or two.
