Good idea. I had not thought of that, actually. But the problem, once
again, is that this is most likely something that's going to be running
after hours. I'd hate to come in the next morning, only to discover that
it's been asking for one writeable tape all night. It could time out, or
minimally require you to run it all day to finish what should have
completed the previous night. I will implement this stratagem, though,
if running during working hours.

Thanks again!
