When I had more free time, I read comp.sys.hp.hpux more frequently,
and saw the question pop up (about labelled tapes).

Now, however, I rarely read that list.  BTW, I've found that asking
questions in comp.sys.hp.hpux rarely results in answers, compared
to asking on comp.sys.hp.mpe (at least, for the kinds of questions
I ask :)
