As you indicate, John, wacky stuff.  The confusion seems to be miscommunication 
between the people who are developing the software and those responsible for 
putting together packages such as IBMtape, where the latter people seem to be 
under the false impression that ITDT is a done deal, which in fact it is a work 
in progress.

As IBM document S4000662 says:
"This new version of ITDT now supports and eventually will replace the tape 
utility program (tapeutil) provided by the device driver."
Until that development occurs, it looks like ITDT will invoke tapeutil to 
perform functions that will later be incorporated into ITDT.
