Is there a way to tell, programmatically, how much tape is left after the last
saved object on the tape?

Specifically, I would like to know if I've got room left to save more than
what we're currently saving to tape.

Currently, we are saving only a specified list of user libraries and are not
using SAVDLO or SAV because, I'm told, we're not really using anything there
that we can't afford to lose.  I'm unsure as to the wisdom of that statement.
We _do_ (supposedly) have a current SAVSYS for each of our boxes; our nightly
backup includes a SAVSECDTA and RTVCFGSRC.
