I recently had a program running without priveleges bomb out trying to mount
a ANSI tape from a Cyber because that tape had been written with an access
attribute of 'A', meaning OWNER access only.  Since people had been complaining
about how VMS ignores ANSI tape labels on this and other lists recently I
played around a little and was unable to discover any way to mount that tape
without using VOLPRO (or better) or playing with the physical tape drive.

Now since physical access to the tape, drive, or processor/console voids
all warentees of security anyhow I would like to know exactly what people
were talking about.
