That has been a Holy Grail quest for us customers. There remains no feasible way to get such a list from the product. This condition probably stems from the product philosophy of being file-oriented rather than tape-oriented, in that the customer need not be concerned with the current tapes upon which the files reside. Obviously, DR needs conflict with that neatness, and so we all would like to see the product accommodate such needs. Richard Sims, BU
