      1. Tapes (J.Closier) (ppt)

• Tapes is a perl script interface to TMS, accessible to any user to book, free, scan or modify redwood cartridges or DLT.
• runs on UNIX :  >  tapes   and reply to questions.
• Tapes librarians : J.Closier, A. Jacholkowska, F.Loverre, M.Marin
• Tapes naming convention : group-size-institute (z525cern, z550mc)
• A user can book 2 Z525 (25Gb) and 1 Z550 (50Gb) cartridges

          ===> physicists should save their data on tapes.

          ===> then Joel could reorganize the AFS projetc space.

• tapes is used by ALEPH, ATLAS and LHCb, we should decide with ATLAS which group wil maintain it: Joel can do the maintanance for ALEPH and LHCb.
• instead of porting tapes to NT it would be interesting to make a Web interface.
