I have examined them carefully and have never seen such a message

I have read somewhere that this was in project, can anyone tell me more about 
this ?

Your guess is correct :) but 1) it works fine with only 3 tapes until it falls 
on a no-reusable one, 2) I'm using a file driver and I apparently cannot 
create and/or label more vtapes than the tape cycle, and I cannot choose 
which tape will be the next (I also read some tricks about this in the 
archive like manually modifying the tapelist but it does not seem to work).

Thanks,
