To bolster Jim Sporer's reply: yes, it is commonly done. We've been doing it for quite a while, largely treating the J tapes a "prior generation" and so best suited to lesser roles such as store-full-tapes-outside-library, given that lesser capacity makes for the use of more of the limited cells in the library. Output from the 'mtlib' command can distinguish between the two. I have a handy-dandy perl program which invokes the mtlib command via more natural expressions. If interested, write to me directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I'll send you a copy. Richard Sims, BU
