The program that was given to me, called CHKTAPE, checks the following
conditions, putting the result
into CI variable CHKTAPE_RESULT:

0 - Tape is unowned, online, at BOT and writeable
1 - Tape is unowned, online, at BOT and write protected
2 - An error occurred.  Probably an invalid device number
3 - Device is not a tape drive
4 - Device is owned by another process
5 - Device is owned by the system
6 - Tape is not online
7 - No tape in device

I have tried this every which way I can, including putting a tape online and
then removing it, and the
result is always correct. If anyone wants a copy, I'll be glad to send you
one.
