fyi. My company has 8 HP 3000's, 3 (aging) 2680 printers, and one of
     those new HP Mopier printers. The Mopier is used, of course, to mow
     the company lawn just like the TV commercials. :)

     also - a semi-humorous story:
     when I worked as a 2nd shift operator (previous employer), Maestro was
     setup to stream several partial backups during the night. I eventually
     determined that the reply (PIN) # would fall in a certain range (ex.
     100-250). So, being creative and lazy, I created a command file to
     reply to the tape request every time for me...(after noticing that the
     partbkup job had logged on)

     It was something like this: (based on memory)

     RT.Cmd.Sys:
     Pause 10
     Reply 100,7

     Reply 101,7
     Continue
     ...up to Reply 250,7

     I thought of this because someone was looking for an autoreply tape
     job. I have a better one at home that i'll post as soon as I dig it
     out.

     [p.s. I did see Denys' post - after I typed this, but obviously before I
     sent it. I've been trying to catch up on my 'digest-mode' reading. He beat
     me to the Mopier joke]
