There's a group within our organization who are trying to provide an
enhanced SDE.  One problem they've identified is in identifying the
particular tape mounted on a drive.  Is there any way to label a
tape in UNIX?  I've never had to worry about this (usually I'm only
dealing with my own tape, and therefore already KNOW what's on it
and that it's the tape I want), but it's been raised as a concern.
	Thanks for your time...
