I need something to help me keep track of tapes used for backups and other purposes. Information on each tape would include things like tape name or number, what it was used for (dump, tar, etc.), date tape was written, expiration date, plus any other data that would be needed. Tapes would be in one of two states - scratch or current. A scratch tape is one whose expiration date has passed and can therefore be reused, while a current tape has not reached its expiration date. I'd also like to be able to print lists of scratch and current tapes sorted various ways. Before I reinvent the wheel, is there something that might be worth looking at already out there either public domain or not? I once wrote such a package in COBOL (you didn't hear me admit that :-) but it was written for a propriatary system and would be difficult if not impossible to port to C and UNIX. Thanks for any help.
