But we don't TMS or RMM.  We have a homegrown tape management system.
So I am looking for a tool to scan a tape and give me as much
information about what is on that tape on the few occasions that we need
to know.

But that will take a long time to scan the tapes.  The data should
already be available in you tape management system, I know it is in TMS
and RMM.

There are a nice set of STORAGE TOOLS on IBM website.  They are free and
do a good job at identifying tape stuff, like BLKSIZE under utilization,
Tape Length, etc...
