Wanted: Software for VAX/VMS to test tapes.

         We are looking for software to test tapes.

         The software should write on the tape and read back
         afterwards in order to find bad spots. It should produce an
         indication of the quality of the tape.

         Of course, we could do a backup of the system disk to tape
         and after that copy the whole tape to the NUL-device looking
         for error-messages.

         But is there a more elegant way to do this?
