Btw.,

Here's a code snippet in perl from NBUX that decodes the status while 
processing bpimagelist
output.

Cheers'

--PLB

     ##
     ## Convert hex status into English.
     ##
     ## Status values were derived from descriptions in the bpmedialist 
manpage.
     ##
     ##   0x200 = 1000000000 = Multiplexing is TRUE.
     ##   0x080 = 0010000000 = Imported is TRUE.
     ##   0x040 = 0001000000 = Multiple retention levels is TRUE.
     ##   0x008 = 0000001000 = The status is Full.
     ##   0x004 = 0000000100 = This is an unreported state.
     ##   0x002 = 0000000010 = The status is Suspended.
     ##   0x001 = 0000000001 = The status is Frozen.
     ##   0x000 = 0000000000 = The status is Active.
     ##
     ## The code below is a kludge (thanks to Chris Madden for this) until I
     ## figure out how to manipulate the hex status value as a bitstring.

     $status = sprintf("%03x", hex($status) );
     my(@status_flags);
     if( substr($status, 0, 1) =~ /2/      ) { unshift(@status_flags, 
"MULTIPLEXED"); }
     if( substr($status, 1, 1) =~ /8/      ) { unshift(@status_flags,

"MULTIRETENTION"); }
     if( substr($status, 2, 1) =~ /[1359]/ ) { unshift(@status_flags, 
"FROZEN"); }
     if( substr($status, 2, 1) =~ /[89]/   ) { unshift(@status_flags,
