Is there a command or any other way to determine how full (a percentage?)
a cartridge tape is? Customer's backup is a single cartridge, and I am 
preparing to add a large set of files. Need to see if nightly unattended backup
will ask for 2nd tape. This is SLR60 tapes. Any formula w/block length and 
file length from dsptap report?
