Where do I find 'tapeutil ?

I haven't needed to use Atape for this within AIX 4.3.3.
I use :

mkdev -c library  -t 'ADSM-SCSI-LB' -s 'scsi' -p 'scsi5' -w '6,0'

to create the device /dev/lb0

There doesn't appear to be a specific 64-bit device support package
or have I missed it somehow.

I get :

The AIX4.3.3 incarnation of TSM always gave 'N/A' for these
devices without any problems.
