MTX

Programs:
  mtx is the media changer control program
  tapeinfo dumps some interesting stuff out of tape drives' mode pages and
sense pages. 
  loaderinfo dumps some interesting stuff out of loaders' mode pages and
sense pages.
  scsitape sends raw SCSI commands to tape drives. Do not use this unless
you know exactly what you're doing, because you can easily get into a feud
with the system's own tape driver and end up locking up the whole system.

INSTALLATION:

WARNING: MUST HAVE GNU 'make' TO DO THIS! (e.g. use 'gmake' on freebsd, not
BSD 'make'!).

Type ./configure to create a Makefile. Type 'make', then 'make
install'. Type 'man mtx' for info about mtx, and 'man tapeinfo' for
info about tapeinfo. Enjoy.

have used it, found problems with it, and let me know about it (you
know who you are).
